The issue #8766 is about PYTHONPATH environment variable, not PYTHONHOME. Test on Linux with Python 3.4: $ PYTHONHOME=/x ./python Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding ImportError: No module named 'encodings' Abandon (core dumped) It's not a segfault, but an "abort". It's different: abort() is called by the application (Python) when something goes wrong. In this case, Python is unable to locate the standard library. It's not a bug: I asked Python to look in /x directory, whereas this directory doesn't exist. > BTW, what is the role of PYTHONPATH on Windows? > Is it a path for %INSTALLDIR%\Lib\site-packages? Same role than PYTHONPATH on Linux: specify where third party modules are installed.
