[At least I think that is your proposal - can you confirm that the directory layouts in your proposal exactly match the directory layouts in virtual envs on all other platforms? ie, that inconsistencies like the python{py_version_short} suffix will not remain?]
Yes, that is the ideal.
Also, I'm still yet to see what exactly becomes "easier" in your model? As you mention, most Python code will not care; distutils and other parts of the stdlib will "do the right thing" - and indeed, already do for Windows.
Again, I have stated my use case - cross platform development where the tools use the directory layout in some way, or where the environment should be checked into source control.
It is a shame this wasn't done as part of py3k in the first place. But I assume you would be looking at Python 3.4 for this, right?
No, I would like this for 3.3. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
