I've done extensive programming with Python, Perl, PHP and similar scripting languages over the last, um, 14 years. Local modules/libs always override system ones. To wit, note the first entry at $ python Python 2.7 (r27:82500, Sep 16 2010, 18:03:06) [GCC 4.5.1 20100907 (Red Hat 4.5.1-3)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> sys.path ['', '/usr/lib/python27.zip', '/usr/lib/python2.7', '/usr/lib/python2.7/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-old', '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PIL', '/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gst-0.10', '/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0', '/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg-info', '/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/webkit-1.0'] The library the developer meant to include is a lot easier to debug (to the developer involved) than "system library changed API subtly/silently/in a relnote encoded with a reference to a bug number. The behaviour sought by Aleksey's patch makes sense. I am surprised that CWD isn't set to SUGAR_BUNDLE_PATH, maybe that needs to get fixed instead. cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- Software Architect - OLPC - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
