I think I've got down to the determining factor. For info: PYTHONHOME has nothing to do with it: the same thing happens if I cd into PCBuild\win32 and run python_d.exe directly For historical reasons the directory in which I'm building (c:\work-in-progress) is actually a junction to c:\users\<me>\work-in-progress. There is some commentary in the API docs about traversing junctions, so presumably that's special-cased in some way which results in an uppercase drive letter. If I rebuild in, eg, c:\temp which is a normal directory, I don't see the uppercase conversion. So, while I still need to fix the underlying test to be case-insensitive, it looks like the Mystery of the Uppercase Drive Letter is at least mostly solved. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34195> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
