Paul Moore added the comment: I thought that most of the users of this functionality had stopped doing so (the only one I recall for certain was pywin32, and last time this came up, I think someone said they had stopped).
If the functionality isn't used in any of the well-known modules, I'm +1 on deprecating it (if it is, I'm all for encouraging them to stop and then *still* deprecating it :-)) Use of the registry keys would prevent virtual environments from managing proper isolation, as well, so it's not just an issue for the embedded distribution. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28896> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
