anatoly techtonik <techtonik@gmail.com> added the comment: There should be one uniform behavior on all platforms if Python is crossplatoform. As far as I can understand this issue - unix os.execv() requires "./" to be present to execute anything from current directory. On windows it is enough to specify just filename, but os.execv() doesn't work in this way - is that right and the issue is to make behavior of os.execv() like on windows? The current behavior definitely needs to be documented. ---------- nosy: +docs@python, techtonik versions: +Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1576313> _______________________________________
