Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.2.2

Priority: 5 Submitted By: Dan Everhart (d_everhart) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: site.py should ignore trailing CRs in .pth files

Initial Comment: When site.addpackage(), running on a posix (e.g. cygwin or linux) system, reads lines from a .pth file that have '\r\n' line terminators, the carriage return character interferes with both the import operation and the directory appending operation.

The situation can arise, for example, when .pth files reside on a network directory that is shared between Windows and Posix installations and accessed by python interpreters running in both environments.

Suggested change: replace site.py line 146: dir = f.readline() with dir = f.readline().rstrip() This change also eliminates the need for removing the newline at lines 154-155

Fixed Lib/site.py as rev. 1.58 in Python 2.4 and rev. 1.53.6.5 in Python 2.3 .

Would opening the file with universal newlines solve the issue?
