Category: Distutils Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: John Ehresman (jpe) >Assigned to: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Summary: --install-base not honored on win32 Initial Comment: The --install-base options isn't honored on win32 because code in install.finalize_others() in install.py overwrites the value with either self.home, self.prefix, or sys.prefix. I was trying to use --install-base because --prefix won't accept an absolute path on win32. Does anyone know the rationale for rejecting absolute paths on win32? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Reinhold Birkenfeld (birkenfeld) Date: 2005-12-16 22:47 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1188172 Martin, I think you are the Windows-install-guru... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1382562&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
