Tarek Ziadé <ziade.ta...@gmail.com> added the comment: sysconfig is looking for the source dir when
sysconfig.get_config_var('srcdir') is called. And this is done like this: if sys.executable: _PROJECT_BASE = os.path.dirname(_safe_realpath(sys.executable)) else: # sys.executable can be empty if argv[0] has been changed and Python is # unable to retrieve the real program name _PROJECT_BASE = _safe_realpath(os.getcwd()) Because sys.executable (argv[0] in fact) is not filled when you call multiprocess vvia the -j option. So yeah, this has to do with sys.executable ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12141> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
