New submission from Thomas Shinnick: Installed using python-3.6.1-amd64.exe then tried to pip install a package. Repeatedly had to manually intervene to open up permissions on python install subdirs, after getting these errors one at a time from pip: PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'c:\\program files\\python 3.6\\Lib\\site-packages\\fontTools' PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'c:\\program files\\python 3.6\\Scripts\\pylupdate5.exe' PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'c:\\program files\\python 3.6\\share' Gave up and set "full control" on \python 3.6\ dir and contents.
It seems permissions default to "read-only" subdirs which makes pip installs impossible. Install and pip used under same userid and same session. I thought I'd clicked yes to any question "install for all users". ---------- components: Installation messages: 294872 nosy: Thomas Shinnick priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Windows 10 3.6.1 install disallows pip installs of packages type: behavior versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30531> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
