New submission from Allan McRae <al...@archlinux.org>: when sys.executable is run with a modified argv[0] such as:
> sh -c "exec -a '' /usr/bin/python2.7 -c 'import sys; print(sys.executable)'" it returns some a hardcoded value. In this case, it returns /usr/bin/python. This value is likely wrong when python is installed with "make altinstall". A possible solution is to modify the "progname" variable in Python/pythonrun.c to include the version in it so that the hardcoded return value is the most version specific binary. I.e. static char *progname = "python2.7"; ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 125420 nosy: allan priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: sys.executable default and altinstall versions: Python 2.5, Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10835> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
