[Jython-dev] Re: [jython-dev]: how to use sys.path; renaming package dirs

[Ype K. <yk...@xs...>]

Finn,

Under jython 21a2, Java 1.1.8, OS2

  os.path.dirname('e:\\pyp\\pqp/pqdb.py' )

gives:

  'e:\\pyp'

but I expected pqp to be part of the result.
Obviously this is different from your result, so
the OS seems to have influence here.

I tried to find how this influence is programmed
into the jython environment, but I could not find it
because module os is written in java, but it does not
seem to have a special provision for os.path.

On renaming package dirs (see previous post):

The module attribute __file__ contains the old path
name for an imported compiled module, which is
no more correct when the package and package directory
have been renamed.

Regards,
Ype
