[issue9923] mailcap module may not work on non-POSIX platforms if MAILCAPS env variable is set
Roundup Robot devn...@psf.upfronthosting.co.za added the comment: New changeset 7b83d2c1aad9 by Nick Coghlan in branch 'default': Fix #9923: mailcap now uses the OS path separator for the MAILCAP envvar. Not backported, since it could break cases where people worked around the old POSIX-specific behaviour on non-POSIX platforms. http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/7b83d2c1aad9 -- nosy: +python-dev ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue9923 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Nick Coghlan ncogh...@gmail.com added the comment: As noted in the commit message, I didn't backport this, since it didn't seem worth risking breaking even the unlikely case that someone actually *was* using the MAILCAP environment variable on Windows. -- resolution: - fixed stage: patch review - committed/rejected status: open - closed versions: -Python 2.7, Python 3.2 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue9923 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Éric Araujo mer...@netwok.org added the comment: BTW, is there a real use case that lead you to open this report, or is it just theoretical?
