New submission from Chris Moore: To reproduce, put a python module in a zip file (I have been using wheels but I assume any module in a zip file will have the same error?) , add the absolute extended-length path to sys.path (add '\\\\?\\' to the front of the normal absolute path, so '\\\\?\\c:\\Users\\cc\\test.zip' instead of 'c:\\Users\\cc\\test.zip'), then attempt to import a module that is contained in the zip file.
I have seen this issue so far on 3.4.3 and 3.5.1. I have not tested 3.4.4 yet. Adding directories that are extended-length paths to sys.path does allow importing modules contained in those directories, and of course using a non extended-length path to a zip file works as long as that path contains less than 260 characters. ---------- components: Interpreter Core, Windows messages: 257136 nosy: Chris Moore, paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Cannot import modules out of zip file with extended-length path on windows type: behavior versions: Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25968> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
