New submission from André Anjos: Apparently, "import site; site.main()" does not seem to work anymore on Python 3.6 and superior.
The reason is a change on the behavior of "os.path.abspath(None)". Before Python 3.6, it used to report an AttributeError which is properly caught inside "site.abs_paths" (see: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/site.py#L99), making it ignore __main__, one of sys.modules, which has __file__ and __cached__ set to None. With Python 3.6 and superior, os.path.abspath(None) reports a TypeError, which makes calling "site.main()" raise an exception and stop. How to reproduce: On python 3.6 or superior, do "import site; site.main()". Expected behavior: Exception is properly caught and treated inside "site.abs_paths", ignoring modules in which __file__ and/or __cached__ are set to None. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 292325 nosy: anjos priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: site.main() does not work on Python 3.6 and superior type: behavior versions: Python 3.6, Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30167> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
