Adrian Chan added the comment: Ah, I'd forgotten about that. When I first tried to run python I got an error complaining about a missing api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1.0.dll I installed the necessary VC redistributable and it solved that problem. So that's why I could successfully ensurepip later on.
I'm surprised the manual runtime installation was necessary. Between windows updates and installers for other programs I should already have it installed. Perhaps it got corrupted? That's out of scope for this issue anyway. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29586> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
