This issue was opened with 2 related facts of 2017:
a) sys.executable is not normalized
b) as a result, two tests failed
Serhiy then said "I don't know what is wrong: the value of sys.executable or the test." If it was the tests, they seem to have been fixed elsewhere.
If it is the non-normalization of sys.executable, my concern for IDLE is that it starts the execution subprocess with subprocess.Popen([sys.executable, ...]). Could this be a reason for mysterious IDLE failures?
Eryk, you stated above that on Windows a \\?\ path is possible but will not work for startup, and that you would open an issue for this. Have you?
Do any of the non-normalized Linux (or *nix) executable paths fail for startup? |
