Maxim Doucet <maxim.dou...@gmail.com> added the comment: Shouldn't there be an update of the 2.6 documentation too?
After your patch, the 2.7 reflects the existence of the "--user" option (see http://docs.python.org/release/2.7.3/install/index.html#alternate-installation-the-user-scheme) but not the 2.6 documentation (http://docs.python.org/release/2.6.8/install/index.html#alternate-installation). In my personal experience, I used the "--home" option with python 2.6 to mimic what "--user" does and it took me 2 weeks to, by chance, stumble upon http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0370/ which informed me that the "--user" option was originally available for python 2.6. If it had been on the 2.6 documentation, it would have been easier and more coherent IMHO. ---------- nosy: +maximd _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8617> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
