New submission from AlexWMF: Unable to import "site" error occurs in an embedded application. I have made small research and found why this module isn't visible for python core.
I have run the python 2.7.11 x86 (for all users) at my win 7x64. The installer writes the registry key "Software\Wow6432Node\Python\PythonCore\%s\", where "%s" is equal to "32" on my machine. Difference between x86 and x86_64 registry keys is only in "Wow6432Node" subkey in that key path. Tracing the application, I have got to getpythonregpath(...) function. This function reads the registry key to determine "PythonPath". The python core tries to open the following key "Software\Wow6432Node\Python\PythonCore\2.7-32\PythonPath" and fails due to absence of that key. In this case, the DLL was compiled with PyWin_DLLVersionString = "2.7-32". Because of this, the python core can't open this key and the "sys.path" stays not fully filled with paths from registry. The PyWin_DLLVersionString is compiles from MS_DLL_ID="$(SysWinVer)", which is equal to "2.7-32" on my system. It's defined in .\PCbuild\python.props file as <SysWinVer>$(MajorVersionNumber).$(MinorVersionNumber)</SysWinVer> <SysWinVer Condition="$(Platform) == 'Win32' or $(Platform) == 'x86'">$(SysWinVer)-32</SysWinVer> So, the simplest solution of this bug is to fix installer to store proper key ---------- components: Installation messages: 265303 nosy: AlexWMF priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Unable to import "site" in an embedded application type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26998> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
