Script wrappers such as pip.exe are simple versions of the py launcher
that execute an embedded script. For example, here's the script
embedded in pip.exe on my system:
#!"C:\Program Files\Python34\python.exe"
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import re
import sys
from pip import main
if __name__ == '__main__':
sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
sys.exit(main())
So, as with py.exe, the child python.exe process has to be assigned to
a job object. That won't work as long as you're using build 10074 of
Windows 10. But you can still run pip using `python -m pip`.
Also, since the py launcher doesn't work on your system, you'll have
to ensure that scripts are associated with python.exe / pythonw.exe
instead of py.exe / pyw.exe. If you installed for all users you can do
that in an elevated command prompt (cmd.exe) using the ftype command:
ftype Python.File="C:\Python34\python.exe" "%1" %*
ftype Python.NoConFile="C:\Python34\pythonw.exe" "%1" %*
