Maybe installing in the root is not good, but installing to "Program Files" is just asking for trouble. All sorts of development tools might suddenly break because of that space in the middle of the path and requirement to use quotes around it. I thus usually install things to <drive>:\Programs. I'm not sure if any packages/programs will break because of that space, but what if some will? _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
