[Errno 2] No such file or directory when running tracd on Windows with --auto-reload

[Ryan J Ollos]

Running tracd on windows with the -r switch:

(pve) C:\Users\Ryan Ollos\trac-dev>tracd -r -s -p 8000 tracenv
c:\users\ryanol~1\trac-dev\pve\scripts\python.exe: can't open file 'C:\Users
\RYANOL~1\trac-dev\pve\Scripts\tracd': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Behavior seen on 1.2-stable, I need to check if behavior occurs on 1.0-stable.

It works fine without the -r switch, or when pointing to tracd-script.py rather than tracd:

trac-1.2-stable/trac/util/autoreload.py

That's not a proposed change, just a demonstration of what works.

The same issue exists on Trac 1.0.13 but tracd-script.py isn't installed via wheel.

According to ​http://wheel.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#setuptools-scripts-handling, script files can be installed using wheel install-files NAME.

The issue I've reported is seen using develop mode with an egg, not wheel, and script files are installed. I've installed with python setup.py develop.

The issue I'm reporting is only seen when using -r/--auto-reload.

Sorry for my noise. I consider we intentionally use only for development and debugging with -r option of trac/web/standard.py. I propose wontfix, otherwise prevent uses of -r option in installed tracd script.

We could check whether sys.argv[0] is existent and executable, and whether sys.argv[0] + '.exe' is executable on Windows.
