New submission from Ronald Oussoren <ronaldousso...@mac.com>: The implementation of pep-0370 treats OSX like any other unix platform.
This is problemantic for two reasons: first of all OSX already had a per-user directory before pep-0370 was implement: ~/Library/Python/X.Y, which means there are now two per-user directories on OSX. Secondly the pep-0370 per-user directory does not honor platform conventions. I therefore propose to change pep-0370 behavior on OSX: * remove ~/.local as the user-base * upgrade ~/Library/Python/X.Y to a pep-0370 compatible directory (that is: introduce the additional subdirectories that are used in pep-0370) * upgrade /Library/Python/X.Y to the same structure ---------- assignee: ronaldoussoren components: Installation, Library (Lib), Macintosh keywords: needs review messages: 100577 nosy: ronaldoussoren severity: normal status: open title: pep-0370 on osx duplicates existing functionality type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8084> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
