New submission from Antony Lee : os.add_dll_directory appears to only accept absolute paths, inheriting this restriction from AddDllDirectory. That's absolutely fine, but could perhaps be mentioned in the docs (https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.add_dll_directory), especially considering that the docs do mention the parallel with `sys.path`, which *does* support relative paths. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 382228 nosy: Antony.Lee, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: add_dll_directory only accepts absolute paths versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker https://bugs.python.org/issue42520 _______________________________________
