Tim Golden <m...@timgolden.me.uk> added the comment: Since execfile is basically shorthand for exec (open (filename).read ()), and since open (filename) *does* support the full range of filepath syntax on Windows, and since execfile has been removed in py3k in favour of exec (open ...)), and since Python 2.x is nearing its end-of-life, I doubt this issue will garner much sympathy.
I haven't actually looked at the code to discover just *why* execfile doesn't support that style of filename. But is there any reason you can't use exec (open (...))? ---------- nosy: +tim.golden _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8869> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
