Yep. That's not good either, but it doesn't make unrelated software, let alone the core interpreter, misbehave (i.e. take control from it). I wouldn't open an RC bug against python-apt because it calls init_config(), but I did against speech-dispatcher because it configures argparse and consumes sys.args and I did against ipython bacause it takes control over parts of the core interpreter. -nik -- PGP-Fingerprint: 3C9D 54A4 7575 C026 FB17 FD26 B79A 3C16 A0C4 F296 Dominik George · Hundeshagenstr. 26 · 53225 Bonn Mobile: +49-1520-1981389 · https://www.dominik-george.de/ Teckids e.V. · FrOSCon e.V.
