New submission from Anish Patel: Originally created issue: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/4033#issuecomment-256865622
Copied text below: I had already Python 3 installed with the environment variable PYTHONHOME=C:\Program Files\Python35. I attempted to install Python 2, but received this issue (although I was installing python 2 after having installed 3): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23349957/solving-install-issues-with-python-3-4-on-windows After multiple attempts, I was able to successfully install Python 2 by doing either of following: * Removing the pip feature from Python 2 installation * Removing my PYTHONHOME environment variable and running a complete Python 2 installation Although I resolved my issue, I would like to file this as a bug if it hasn't been filed already. ---------- components: Installation, Windows messages: 279774 nosy: Anish Patel, paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Python installation fails on Windows because of pip feature type: crash versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28566> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
