New submission from Simon Sapin <simon.sa...@exyr.org>: https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.path documents:
> As initialized upon program startup, the first item of this list, path[0], is > the directory containing the script that was used to invoke the Python > interpreter. On Windows with an embeddable zip file distribution, this does not happen. Steps to reproduce: * Create a foo.py file that contains `import bar` * Create an empty bar.py file * With your usual Python installed from the "normal" executable installer, check that `python foo.py` runs without output or error * Download and extract https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.0/python-3.7.0-embed-amd64.zip * Run `..\python-3.7.0-embed-amd64\python foo.py` Expected result: The script runs again without output or error. Actual result: Traceback (most recent call last): File "foo.py", line 1, in <module> import bar ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bar' This might be an occurrence of https://bugs.python.org/issue33698, since the embeddable distribution has a python37._pth file that contains "python37.zip" and "." print(sys.path) shows [ 'C:\\Users\\example\\python-3.7.0-embed-amd64\\python37.zip', 'C:\\Users\\example\\python-3.7.0-embed-amd64' ] This StackOverflow question describes the same issue: https://stackoverflow.com/q/51403126/1162888 ---------- messages: 326671 nosy: ssapin priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Script’s directory not in sys.path with embeddable Windows distribution type: behavior _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34841> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
