-Python AppImages are not isolated from the user space. Therefore, by default
|
|
|
|
|
-site packages located under `~/.local` are loaded instead of system ones. Note
|
|
|
|
|
-that this is the usual Python runtime behaviour. However, it can be conflictual
|
|
|
|
|
-in some cases.

|
|
|
|
-In order to disable user site packages, one can use the `-E`, `-s` or `-I`
|
|
|
|
|
-options of the Python runtime. For example, invoking the Python AppImage as
|
|
|
|
|
-{{ "`./python3.10 -s`" | id("user-isolation-example") }} prevents user packages
|
|
|
|
|
-to be loaded. The `-E` option disables Python related environment variables. In
|
|
|
|
|
-particular, it prevents packages under `PYTHONPATH` to be loaded. The `-I`
|
|
|
|
|
-option activates both `-E` and `-s`.

+By default, Python AppImages are not isolated from the user environment. For
|
|
|
|
|
+example, packages located under `~/.local/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages` are
|
|
|

|
|
+In order to isolate your application from the user environment, the Python
|
|
|
|
|
+runtime provides the `-E`, `-s` and `-I` options. For example, invoking a Python
|
|
|
|
|
+AppImage as {{ "`./python3.10 -s`" | id("user-isolation-example") }} prevents
|
|
|
|
|
+the loading of user site packages (located under `~/.local`). Additionaly, the
|
|
|
|
|
+`-E` option disables Python related environment variables. In particular, it
|
|
|
|
|
+prevents packages under `PYTHONPATH` to be loaded. The `-I` option triggers both
|
|
|
|
|
+`-E` and `-s`.
