[issue21687] Py_SetPath: Path components separated by colons
New submission from Florian Walch: The documentation for Py_SetPath [1] states:
The path components should be separated by semicolons.
I believe this should not say "semicolons", but "colons"; the default path as output by Py_GetPath is separated by colons.

eryksun added the comment: A Windows path uses ":" after the drive letter, e.g. "C:\\Windows", so the delimiter is a semicolon on Windows. Other platforms use a colon. CPython uses DELIM, which is defined in osdefs.h. This header isn't included by Python.h. http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/c0e311e010fc/Include/osdefs.h ---------- nosy: +eryksun _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21687> _______________________________________
