Steve Dower added the comment: > an alternative standalone Python interpreter
It's a convenient way to avoid having your standard library hijacked by registry keys installed by the regular interpreter. However, if it detects "Lib\os.py" or "python36.zip" alongside the executable, it shouldn't look in the registry to figure out its home directory. That ought to be sufficient for portable cases, though of course there are some registry entries that will still have an impact (until 3.6.1, when we should be registry clean provided one of the landmark files is found). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29578> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
