New Revision: 48968

Modified:
   pypy/branch/windows48396/pypy/translator/goal/app_main.py
   pypy/branch/windows48396/pypy/translator/goal/targetpypystandalone.py
Log:
partial solution to the os import problem.
The next version will avoid importing os, altogether.
I think of producing these functions using the gateway.

 # faking os, until we really are able to import it from source

 When pypy is starting, the builtin modules are there, but os.path
 is a Python module. The current startup code depends on os.py,

 Os.py is a wrapper for system specific built-in modules and tries
 to unify the interface. One problem is os.environ which looks
 very differently per os.
-Due to the way os.py initializes its environ variable on Windows,
-it s hard to get a correct os.getenv that uses the actual environment
-variables. In order to fix that without modifying os.py, we need to
-re-import it several times, before and after compilation.
-
-When compiling the source, we first create a fake_os class instance.
-fake_os contains all of os, when compiling.reduction seems to be not
-appropriate, since lots of other modules are sucked in, at the same time.
-A complete reduction is possible, but would require much more work.
-
-In the course of creating fake_os, we import the real os. We keep a record
-of which modules were imported, before.
-
-During start of the entry_point, we call os.setup().
-This repeats an import of the specific parts in os.name.
-Depending of the underlying os, this might or might not
-cause a redefinition of certain os variables, but this happens
-exactly like in os.py's initialization.
-We then capture the variable environ, which may or may not come from the
-specific os.
-After that, we re-initialize our dict to what is expected in standard
-os. The effect of all this magic is that we have captured the environ
-cariable, again, and we now can redefine os.getenv to use this fresh
-variable, being accurate and not frozen.
-
-At this point, we finally can compute the location of our import.
-
-As a side effect, the involved modules are re-imported, although they had
-been compiled in, so PyPy behaves really conformant, making all .py
-modules changeable, again.
+Access to os.environ is not possible on Windows, due to caching
+problems. We solve that by passing the PATH envirnment setting
+in from a low-level interface.
+
+As an intermediate hack, the os.path functions are used until
+os.py can be imported. The module is then re-imported. This
+intermediate, since it will still leave os.environ unusable.
+(the last version solved that by hairy import tricks)
+
+The next version will avoid early import of os, alltogether.
