Hi, I updated my PR https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/31542 and I plan to merge it soon.
It seems like most people need and like this feature. About the feature name, nobody liked the "add_path0" name which is misleading: "path0" is not easy to get, and the path is prepended, not added. I renamed "add_path0" to "safe_path" (opposite meaning) and I renamed "PYTHONDONTADDPATH0" env var to "PYTHONSAFEPATH": shorter, easy to write. In terms of usability, IMO "safe_path=1" is easier to understand than "add_path0=0". For the exact meaning of this option, well, I wrote documentation. In the documentation, I replaced "don't add sys.path[0]" with "don't prepend an unsafe path to sys.path: (...)" with an explanation of which "unsafe path" is prepended. Adding this -P command line option makes the Python command line even more complicated, with existing -I and -E options, the "._pth" file, etc. But well, not all users want the same thing ;-) Victor _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/5HOOBV7AOH2P7CR4RA2IAESFVQ2OQHLL/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
