It would be consistent with platforms which doesn't implement realpath: if (have_module_arg) { #if defined(HAVE_REALPATH) || defined(MS_WINDOWS) _Py_wgetcwd(fullpath, Py_ARRAY_LENGTH(fullpath)); argv0 = fullpath; n = wcslen(argv0); #else argv0 = L"."; n = 1; #endif } And it defers the error handler to later. Example of Python 3 running in a removed directory: $ python3 Python 3.7.2 (default, Jan 16 2019, 19:49:22) >>> import os >>> os.getcwd() FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory >>> os.path.abspath('.') Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/python3.7/posixpath.py", line 383, in abspath cwd = os.getcwd() FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory I would prefer "." than "-m". ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36236> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
