[issue14088] sys.executable generating canonical path

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <vstinner at python.org> added the comment:

test_sys:

    def test_executable(self):
        # sys.executable should be absolute
        self.assertEqual(os.path.abspath(sys.executable), sys.executable)

IMO the test is wrong. It must test: test.assertTrue(os.path.isabs(sys.executable)).

The path is not required to be normalized.
