[Pyobjc-dev] objc & sys.path munging

[Just v. R. <ju...@le...>]

Here's a snippet from objc.__init__.py:

  # This is a hack, should probably patch python:
  # - We want the resources directory to be on the python search-path
  # - It must be at the start of the path
  # - The CWD must not be on the path
  if 1 :
      b = lookup_class('NSBundle').mainBundle()
      if b:
          sys.path.insert(0, '%s/Contents/Resources'%str(b.bundlePath()))
      del b
  del sys, __builtin__

Questions:
- "...should probably patch python", how?
- why must it be at the start of the path?
- why must the CWD not be on the path?

I really think the adding of Contents/Resources to sys.path should be done
elsewhere. It would be trivial to do so in the execve wrapper.

I'd like to understand the issues...
