New submission from Jon Ribbens: If you are installing Python 2.7.10 and a previous version of 2.7 was already installed, the installation processs can fail when compileall.py finds badly-written third-party modules in the site-packages or dist-packages directories.
The installation process should either ignore errors from compileall.py, or compileall.py should be told to ignore the site-packages and dist-packages directories. ---------- components: Installation messages: 248121 nosy: Jon Ribbens priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: compileall can cause Python installation to fail type: compile error versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24807> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
