New submission from Jan Duzinkiewicz: quote from http://docs.python.org/3/library/imp.html#imp.find_module: "...on some systems some other places are looked in as well (on Windows, it looks in the registry which may point to a specific file)." I actually didn't know the registry key is listed in "using Python on Window" guide until I grepped for PythonCore (which kind of requires to know the key already) - so I'm submitting a patch that cross references find_module docs and using Python on Windows guide. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: import_nt_reg.patch keywords: patch messages: 174508 nosy: dhgmgn, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: imp.find_module does not specify registry key it searches on windows versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.3 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file27843/import_nt_reg.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16386> _______________________________________
