How is this possible?

Other:Dev/python/python-2.7/bin/python2.7

How does the system know where Python2.7 is if it is not even on the PATH.

I deleted everything form that awful APPDIR: feature as you can see.

Perhaps C: is multi-assigned, with the path to Python being one of the assignments? Try "Assign" by itself to see what the assignments are.

I also see: https://wiki.amigaos.net/wiki/AmigaOS_ ... _Command_Reference#ASSIGN

1. Question wrt. multiple assign
Here is some test:


cd RAM:

makedir FOLDER1

makedir FOLDER2

echo "" > FOLDER1/FILE1

echo "" > FOLDER2/FILE2

ASSIGN TESTER: RAM:FOLDER1 RAM:FOLDER2

DIR TESTER:

Then:


dir TESTER:

This only shows FILE1.
The WIKI says:


is a multiple-directory assignment that creates a search path containing two Libs directories

I guess DIR / LIST only take the "primary" assigned directory and do not honour the "search path"?


FILE TESTER:FILE1

FILE TESTER:FILE2

Both execute fine.

2. ~~Question wrt. output of ASSIGN with <>~~ (Found Anwser: actually, it is demonstrated in the WIKI. Late Versus Non-Binding. Ignore until question 3)


GHOSTSCRIPT        <SYS:Utilities/GhostScript>

I cannot see an explanation in the WIKI of what <> means. [] is explained, but not <>.

3. ~~Question~~ (Found Answer: I had a link to it in C:)
If someone can help also answer my confusion in the previous comment as to why "Python2.7" is still successfully being sought, that would be nice since this is kind of a hindrance to me.

Regards.

Looks like you've found the reason, which was indeed a multi-assign to C:. Curiously, 'C:' isn't present in the Assign list you posted, which makes it hard to see the problem.

Speaking of confusion: Does anyone else get a blank page after clicking the 'Reply' button below post #4 in this topic? (If you do, the browser's 'Back' button will get you back to the topic page.)

I notice that post #4 has a matched '<' and '>' in it, just like the post I was trying to compose over in the "current situation with printing" topic that caused blank pages when previewed. Something weird seems to be going on with the forum software when those two characters are present in a post.

The question I have is why do you even have APPDIR mounted if it's so awful ?

Just move the icon from DEVS/Dosdrivers to STORAGE/DosDrivers and
the awfull thing goes away, and I don't have to listen to your pointless whining anymore.
