`v7.8.0`

Compare Source

Added a new source_dirs setting for symmetry with the existing
source_pkgs setting. It's preferable to the existing source setting,
because you'll get a clear error when directories don't exist. Fixes issue 1942. Thanks, Jeremy Fleischman <pull 1943_>.
Fix: the PYTHONSAFEPATH environment variable new in Python 3.11 is properly
supported, closing issue 1696. Thanks, Philipp A. <pull 1700_>. This
works properly except for a detail when using the coverage command on
Windows. There you can use python -m coverage instead if you need exact
emulation.
