Tom Middleton added the comment: Ok, so really bizarre. I uninstalled 2.7.11, then I was getting the same error with the 2.7.11 msi. So I was thinking that I should go back to the original version I had installed (2.7.10) the installer showed a "repair" option so I did that, then the 2.7.11 install worked. And then the 2.7.12 installer worked.
I would have to agree with Steve Dower. I think that it had something to do with pip because there were a couple cmd windows that popped up during the install process that showed something to do with pip which didn't the first time I ran the installer. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27564> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
