How about the directory caching problem when doing multiple builds in a single Python process?
Yep, that one slipped through the cracks all right -- thanks!
(Reported by me in http://www.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2000-September/001915.html) I'm willing to write a patch, if given guidance on what to write.
grep dir_util.py for '_path_cache'. Couldn't hurt to grep *.py, but if any other module is referring to a leading-underscore variable, somebody needs to be slapped with the proverbial wet noodle! ... lessee... yep, just 'mkpath()' and 'remove_tree()' use it. Both will probably need to be changed to use absolute paths. Shouldn't be hard, and I approve. Go for it. Greg
