Brian Curtin <br...@python.org> added the comment: 2. Yes, only the installation directory, because that's the only directory we create. Scripts is created by distutils/packaging, but perhaps we could add it since it is widely used. Anyone have an opinion?
3. Do you have a reason? Many tools that offer path manipulation do not do so by default because it changes how the system operates. If we put this on by default, it will change how a lot of scripts are executed without people expecting it. It's easy to click through an installer like Python's because it's not flashy and there aren't a lot of options as it is. If we just let people click through, things are going to break a lot more than if we make people ask for it. I could see it becoming a default in a future release once it has been in the wild for a while, but I think we're going to run into a lot of problems if we just flip it right away. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3561> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
