[Python-Dev] New Python Initialization API (original) (raw)

For the PyMainConfig structure idea, I cannot comment at this point. I need more time to think about it.

About the "path configuration" fields, maybe a first step to enhance the API would be to add the the following function:

PyInitError PyConfig_ComputePath(PyConfig *config, const wchar *home);

where home can be NULL (and PyConfig.module_search_paths_env field goes away: the function reads PYTHONPATH env var internally).

This function would "compute the path configuration", what's currently listed in _PyCoreConfig under:

/* Path configuration outputs */
int use_module_search_paths;  /* If non-zero, use module_search_paths */
_PyWstrList module_search_paths;  /* sys.path paths. Computed if
                                   use_module_search_paths is equal
                                   to zero. */

wchar_t *executable;    /* sys.executable */
wchar_t *prefix;        /* sys.prefix */
wchar_t *base_prefix;   /* sys.base_prefix */
wchar_t *exec_prefix;   /* sys.exec_prefix */
wchar_t *base_exec_prefix;  /* sys.base_exec_prefix */

#ifdef MS_WINDOWS wchar_t dll_path; / Windows DLL path */ #endif
