New submission from Steve Dower: I'd like to be able to run ensurepip in the 3.5 installer with pythonw.exe, to avoid having the console window appear.
Unfortunately, pip requires a valid value for sys.__stdout__. This patch adds a dummy value for __stdout__ that allows pip to be installed/uninstalled with pythonw. I see no reason not to check this into default now, so just seeking a quick review from the module owners. I can also backport it to 3.4 if that's thought to be worthwhile, but I don't think the installer for 3.4 will be updated to use pythonw, so it probably doesn't matter. ---------- assignee: steve.dower components: Installation files: ensurepip.patch keywords: patch messages: 230032 nosy: dstufft, ncoghlan, steve.dower priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: ensurepip should work with pythonw.exe versions: Python 3.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file37020/ensurepip.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22730> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
