Subject: gh-89745: Remove test_embed.test_init_read_set() (#139500)
X-Git-Tag: v3.15.0a1~159
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6826ebf9866b860367e4763b3e4651950614c5aa;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

gh-89745: Remove test_embed.test_init_read_set() (#139500)

Since Python 3.11, it's no longer possible to call PyConfig_Read() to
get the path configuration, and then modify the path configuration.
