New submission from Jason Spiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: The Python Windows installer[1] should automatically add the Python and Scripts directories to the PATH environment variable. (If you like, you can also provide a checkbox in the installer GUI that users can uncheck if they don't want this behavior.)
This issue was discussed at http://nabble.com/Why-does-Python-never-add- itself-to-the-Windows-path--td8044465.html and the majority consensus was that this is a good idea, but nobody has volunteered to implement it. ^ [1]. The installer is generated by the code at http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Tools/msi/ ---------- components: Installation, Windows messages: 71172 nosy: christian.heimes, jasonspiro, loewis severity: normal status: open title: Windows installer should add Python and Scripts directories to the PATH environment variable type: feature request _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3561> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
