New submission from flashk <fla...@gmail.com>: Hi,
I noticed that Python still uses the Windows registry to initialize sys.path, when the -E option is used. >From my understanding, this option is mostly used by programs that are running >an embedded version of python, and don't want it to be affected by global >installations. Ignoring the registry, along with environment variables, seems >to be the correct behavior in this case. I asked about this on the python-dev list (http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2010-June/100492.html) and was told to submit a patch for this if I wanted it fixed before the 2.7 release. I've included a patch for 2.7 and 3.2 ---------- components: Interpreter Core files: IgnoreWindowsRegistry_27.patch keywords: patch messages: 107121 nosy: flashk priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Windows registry path not ignored with -E option type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file17558/IgnoreWindowsRegistry_27.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8901> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
