Ned Deily added the comment: FWIW, the POSIX standard gives some guidance on how PATH is to be interpreted for conforming systems, including:
"A zero-length prefix is a legacy feature that indicates the current working directory. It appears as two adjacent <colon> characters ( "::" ), as an initial <colon> preceding the rest of the list, or as a trailing <colon> following the rest of the list. A strictly conforming application shall use an actual pathname (such as .) to represent the current working directory in PATH." http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap08.html ---------- nosy: +ned.deily _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17012> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
