Hi,
just saw that os.defpath for Windows is defined as Lib/ntpath.py:30:defpath = '.;C:\\bin'
Most Windows machines I saw has no c:\bin directory.
Any reason why it was defined this way ? Thanks, Yinon
I can't see any logical reason for that. There should not be such a hack to avoid "magical bugs" when PATH is empty.
