Subject: If the preference filename resource is empty don't try to open or
X-Git-Tag: v1.5.2a1~307
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ac82b6a041942de19f11f8929da9a5f9d9597212;p=python

If the preference filename resource is empty don't try to open or
create the preferences file. This is so that frozen programs don't
interfere with an existing Python installation, or leave turds in the
Preferences folder.
