New submission from Jake Garver: In compileall.py's main, we verify that the provided destdir (-d) exists at build time. But destdir will commonly be used to override the build time path with a runtime path. That runtime path will usually not exist at build time.
Note that this logic was changed when compileall.py was migrated to argparse. I think the old logic accidentally avoided the isdir() check at build time. https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/11e99b06bda2a23478fcec40df8c18edc8a06668 With the attached patch, behavior is made consistent with python 2.7, intended or otherwise. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: python34_compileall_ddir.diff keywords: patch messages: 248900 nosy: jgarver priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Do not verify destdir argument to compileall type: behavior versions: Python 3.4 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file40216/python34_compileall_ddir.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24903> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
