The traceback in the original post indicates that the problematic line is:

    if any(cmd.lower().endswith(ext.lower()) for ext in pathext):

which currently has been changed to (I guess with other changes, too):

    if any(cmd.lower().endswith(ext) for ext in pathext):

Could you please paste an updated traceback?

looking into

C:\OSGeo4W64\apps\grass\grass77\etc\python\grass\script\core.py

        if any(cmd.lower().endswith(ext) for ext in pathext):
            files = [cmd]
        else:
            files = [cmd + ext for ext in pathext]

the question is why the traceback reports then:

    if any(cmd.lower().endswith(ext.lower()) for ext in pathext):

I am not sure I understand the last question. If you are asking why the same line is being repeated, then, quoting from here:

In Python 3, all comprehensions (and in Python 2 all except list comprehensions) are actually compiled as nested functions. Executing the generator comprehension calls that hidden nested function, using up an extra stack frame.

Generator functions are treated the same way. You can easily check this like this:

$ python -c 'list(1 / i for i in (1, 2, 3, 0, 4, 5))'

  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>

comment:10 by pmav99, 6 years ago

Now to the problem at hand.

    if any(cmd.lower().endswith(ext.lower()) for ext in pathext):
TypeError: endswith first arg must be bytes or a tuple of bytes, not str

Pathext is an iterable (in this case a list) and the problem seems to be that at least one of the pathext elements is a string instead of a bytes object. Now, I don't understand why this happens, since lines 200-201 should handle the conversion to bytes. Anyway, to debug this try to add the following line just before the problematic one:

import pprint
pprint.pprint([ext, type(ext) for ext in pathext])

it's not the repeated Line, but in the script

if any(cmd.lower().endswith(ext) for ext in pathext):

and in the traceback

if any(cmd.lower().endswith(ext.lower()) for ext in pathext):

do you see the difference?

see your remark above.

follow-up: 13 comment:12 by pmav99, 6 years ago

OK, I see what is going on now.

You are using Python 3.7. As a a result the shutil_which name is an alias to shutil.which function defined in the standard library.

On Python 2 though, shutil_which is the function defined in scripts/core.py.

This is why there is this difference. The function in scripts.core is never executed in Python 3.

yes. OSGeo4W-winGRASS7.7.svn is compiled/built against Python 3.x as a test build for preparing the upcoming OSGeo4W-winGRASS7.8

As a a result the shutil_which name is an alias to shutil.which function defined in the standard library.

On Python 2 though, shutil_which is the function defined in scripts/core.py.

This is why there is this difference. The function in scripts.core is never executed in Python 3.

yes it seems so.

follow-ups: 15 16 comment:14 by pmav99, 6 years ago

OK, it seems that this will be probably fixed on Python 3.8:

In the meantime, @hellik can you please try to copy paste the 3.8 version of shutil.which from github and test if it works?

In the meantime, @hellik can you please try to copy paste the 3.8 version of shutil.which from github and test if it works?

https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/d8320ecb86da8df7c13d8bf8582507f736aa2924/Lib/shutil.py#L1293-L1369

will try a copy/paste; into core.py, right?

what is missing in the 3.8 github version of shutil.which, is:

203	        if b'.py' not in pathext:
204	            # we assume that PATHEXT contains always '.py'
205	            pathext.insert(0, b'.py')

this should be added to while copy/paste

OK, it seems that this will be probably fixed on Python 3.8:

now what I've done:

I copied def which and def _access_check (L1285-L1369) from python github into C:\OSGeo4W64\apps\Python37\lib\shutil.py

=> the wxGUI start up window to select a location/mapset pops up.

thus, the python fix for 3.8 (shutil.which() should support bytes) seems to work.

then there is another issue (in C:\OSGEO4~1\apps\Python37\lib\xml\etree\ElementTree.py), but then this may be another ticket.
