Fix also sysconfig: if sys.executable is an empty string, use the current working directory. ........ r78836 | victor.stinner | 2010-03-11 14:27:35 +0100 (jeu., 11 mars 2010) | 4 lines Fix test_executable introduce in previous commit (r78835): Windows is able to retrieve the absolute Python path even if argv[0] has been set to a non existent program name. ........ r78837 | victor.stinner | 2010-03-11 14:46:06 +0100 (jeu., 11 mars 2010) | 3 lines Another fix to test_executable() of test_sys: set the current working to avoid the #7774 bug. ........
