Tutorial/Bug Report
by John McMicking April 14, 2012

April 14, 2012

Well I can't report a bug with the program, because by trying to use your tutorial, I haven't gotten that far yet. That has got to be the absolute worst tutorial I have ever seen! It tells you how to end a program that it has not yet told you how to start! I installed Python on a Windows7 computer. On my start menu, I have three items in the Python folder. Which one of those was I learning how to end?! Before that, we are told how to add Python to the path. Why are we doing that? Why didn't the installer do that already? John

by Nick Coghlan April 12, 2012

April 12, 2012

Nick Coghlan <ncoghlan(a)gmail.com> added the comment: Specifically, we end up calling os.realpath() (or the C level equivalent) when initialising __main__.__file__ and sys.path[0]. Agreed this behaviour should be documented (and tested!) explicitly. ---------- assignee: -> docs@python components: +Documentation, Tests nosy: +docs@python stage: -> needs patch type: -> enhancement versions: +Python 2.7, Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14547> _______________________________________
