Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment: Thanks for the report and patch.
I just tested that When the executable itself is symlinked (not installed, just linked from an existing installation), sys.exec_prefix and sys.executable are different. This means that a unit test (to prevent regressions) will be easy to write with the helpers in test.test_support (2.7)/test.support (3.x)/distutils2.tests.support. os.path.samefile is not supported on Windows before 3.2; I guess we’ll have to live with that bug and just document it :( Do you want to add tests for this? I’ll do it if you don’t. (Out of curiosity, why are there three signed-off-by lines? Is there a secret community of distutils bug fixers using git?) ---------- assignee: tarek -> eric.araujo components: +Distutils2 keywords: +easy nosy: +eric.araujo stage: -> unit test needed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6114> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
