[New-bugs-announce] [issue25800] errors running test_capi from command line

[SilentGhost]

New submission from SilentGhost:

Running:

./python Lib/test/test_capi.py

I got EmbeddingTests erroring out in setUp: first line of which (a triple application of os.path.dirname) creates an empty string which cannot be used as an argument to os.chdir afterwards. I'm to be honest not at all sure how this should be properly solved.

Just for the record: running ./python -m test test_capi works fine.
