New submission from Oscar Benjamin: >From the mailing list: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2015-October/697744.html
''' The new installer for 3.5 doesn't create an "App Paths" key for "python.exe" like the old installer used to do (see the old Tools/msi/msi.py). Without that, unless python.exe is in the search PATH, "Win+R -> python" and running "start python" in the command prompt won't work. You can of course add the key manually as the default value for "[HKLM|HKCU]\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\python.exe". IMO, this makes it the 'system' Python. ''' Is this an intentional change or an oversight? ---------- components: Installation messages: 252618 nosy: oscarbenjamin priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Windows 3.5 installer does not add python to "App Paths" key versions: Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25355> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
