New submission from Mark Summerfield: This document is v. useful for Windows Python users: https://docs.python.org/dev/using/windows.html
However, I think it could be improved as follows: (1) Explain which Python installer to get (since there are so many)! Even a "get the Windows x86 executable installer if you just want it now!". Alternatively, the https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ page could begine with a brief explanation of the differences. (2) Explain the trade-offs between Admin & User install & the effect this has on using pip (e.g., an Admin install may require pip to be used in an Admin console or to be used with the --user option). ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 282625 nosy: docs@python, mark priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Two suggestions for windows.html type: enhancement versions: Python 3.6, Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28895> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
