It should either always return the path to Vim or to Python. I'd go with the path to Python since that's what the Python docs say it should return.
I would go with path to vim since it is the actual user of the python library. But I agree that there should not be such inconsistency. I do not think though that this problem should be directed here and not to Python issue tracker: vim has nothing in if_py* files that may look like a source of this inconsistency. At least, I have never seen something like redefining sys.executable and do not remember any platform-specific code there. Note: the python.exe itself is just the same user of the shared library as vim is. Since all sys staff can be found in the shared library and not in the library users (except for some explicit replacements like vim having a replacement for sys.stdout) I do not see why one of the users should be preferred over the other. > The API of Python system functions shouldn't change just because it's running inside Vim. > > -- > -- > You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. > Do not top-post!
