[Python-Dev] ConfigParser patches (original) (raw)

I was in fact thinking of the -m proposal when I wrote that...

The timing does suck.

It's so easy to define an alias or use a one-line shell script for invoking Python with a full pathname that I'm really not sure I like the -m idea,

My understanding was that it wasn't about a full pathname to python, it was about searching sys.path for the darned script so us poor Windows guys don't have to change directories a million times a day (no aliases or shebangs for us either).

I have a big pile of batch files just to invoke timeit, texchecker, profile, etc. It bites the big one.

If the patch doesn't get worked out for Py2.4, I hope it doesn't get abandoned.

Supporting it with packages seems insanity.

No doubt.
