Chris Caron <lead2g...@gmail.com> added the comment: I'm not doing anything unusual.
Just to recap, I installed Python27 (in Windows 7 in my case- but this problem happens in Windows 10 too). I did use `pip` to install packages as you'll see in the screenshot. But even if i rename the `C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\backports` to `ignoreme-backports`. When i change the PYTHONPATH (from within sys.path.insert(0, 'new_path/that/has/a/backports/dir/in/it'); import backports print backports.__path__ # always prints: C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\backports The problem arises because the following code won't work in my program: from import import ssl_match_hostname ^^ That throws an exception that the package doesn't exist. It's debugging it to the __path__ being incorrect that caused me to create this ticket. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31741> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
