Christoph Gohlke <cgoh...@uci.edu> added the comment: I can confirm this issue. It prevents building a IPython msi installer on Python 2.6 for Windows.
A patch to the Directory.make_short function in msilib\__init__.py is attached. It falls back to generating prefix~pos filenames when a short name is already taken and also generates short names more similar to Windows/NTFS. ---------- keywords: +patch nosy: +cgohlke Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file15898/msilib_make_short.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7639> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
