Sophist added the comment: Finding it impossible for PIP to install discid.
Tracked it down to this issue i.e. os.path.isfile('C:\Windows\system32\discid.dll') == False when the dll exists. Some other dlls in that directory result in True and some in False. I cannot see any significant difference in security permissions that might cause this - only difference is security permissions for some are inherited and some are not inherited. I get this on both Python 3.6.1 32-bit and 2.7.13 32-bit on Win 10 Pro 64-bit Anniversary Edition 1607. I use ESET Smart Security 9 as AV. ---------- nosy: +Sophist _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16283> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
