I still am dumbfounded that this wasn’t platform I dependent in the first place, but you know what essay about hindsight.
However, I’m no Windows expert, but I *think* the modern Windows file system(s?) support something like symlinks. It’s an under-the-hood feature, but maybe it’s possible to add a symlink for bin. Maybe I’m wrong, and/or it’s not possible on all file systems Python needs to support, in which case *nix systems do support linking, so we could support “Scripts” on all systems. Just a thought. -CHB On Thu, Jul 21, 2022 at 8:26 AM Simão Afonso < [email protected]> wrote: > On 2022-07-21 17:04:16, Svein Seldal wrote: > > > https://github.com/pypa/pip/bob/main/src/pip/_internal/locations/_distutils.py#L145-L148 > <https://github.com/pypa/pip/blob/main/src/pip/_internal/locations/_distutils.py#L145-L148> > > This actually works great!
