Chris,
Thanks for your response -- much appreciated.
Please see my remarks embedded below.

In both failure cases, it looks to me like there is a bug in the pip

that is using a *nix forward slash "/" instead of a double backslash

before the file name "make.bat".
I'm not sure what your exact problem is, but I can say that it isn't
this; the Unix-style forward slash is perfectly legal under Windows
(and it's even legal to mix and match).

I never knew that the forward slash is legal under Windows -- thanks for
the tip :)
After further research, I got mitmproxy installed under Windows XP. Now
mitmdump starts ok (with one "warning").
* * *
* * *
In case other Windows XP "orphans" want to use mitmdump, here's what I
learned (via Google):
1. There was a bug in pip-8.0.0 (bug fixed recently in pip-8.0.2) that
caused the "Permission denied" error:
I did another upgrade of pip, and this time the upgrade installed
pip-8.0.2 (instead of pip-8.0.0).
And pip-8.0.2 successfully installed mitmproxy.
2. But then mitmdump wouldn't start (can't use mitmproxy under
Windows -- there's no GUI port):
C:\Documents and Settings\SteveP>mitmdump --help
failed to create process.
This "failed to create process" problem, was caused by whitespace, in
the pathname to the python directory, in the bang line in file
mitmdump-script.py:
I changed the bang line (wrapping the pathname in double quotes) in file
mitmdump-script.py:
from: #!e:\a p p s\python27\python.exe
to: #!"e:\a p p s\python27\python.exe"
and now mitmdump starts ok with one warning:
C:\Documents and Settings\SteveP>mitmdump --help
e:\a p p
s\python27\lib\site-packages\watchdog\observers\__init__.py:89:
UserWarning: Failed to import read_directory_changes. Fall back to
polling.
warnings.warn("Failed to import read_directory_changes. Fall back
to polling.")
usage: mitmdump-script.py [options] [filter]
...
I tried to fix the warning, but so far no success (due to my Python
ignorance).
However, mitmdump does start (with the same warning) and it creates an
empty output file:
C:\Documents and Settings\SteveP>mitmdump -w mitmdump_20160123.txt
e:\a p p
s\python27\lib\site-packages\watchdog\observers\__init__.py:89:
UserWarning: Failed to import read_directory_changes. Fall back to
polling.
warnings.warn("Failed to import read_directory_changes. Fall back
to polling.")
I haven't yet got mitmdump to actually write anything to the output
file, but I expect that's just a matter of studying the mitmdump docs.
* * *

Thanks again for the response.
Best Regards,
Steve
P.S. Be assured -- I will soon be moving away from Windows XP to a new
computer running Debian Linux.

I'd raise this upstream as a bug report - it should be fixed properly rather than depending on manual editing. I'd like to raise the bug report you suggest, but I'm not clear on the meaning of the word "upstream" in relation to Python-list. (I've seen "upstream" used by participants in another forum <pgsql-gene...@postgresql.org> and always wondered what "upstream" meant there.) I know what "upstream" means, in terms of: water flow in a river, or vehicle flow on a highway, or data flow over a comms link. "upstream" is where a moving particle was, earlier in time But my puzzlement is -- where is "upstream" in relation to an email forum, in the context of a thread? The fix for the mitmdump bang line bug was applied to file mitmdump-script.py, and according to its "Date Modified" field on my Win XP, this file arrived in the e:\a p p s\Python27\Scripts\ directory, when I installed mitmproxy. So it looks to me like file mitmdump-script.py is a product of the mitmproxy project. Am I correct in assuming, that "upstream" in the context of this present thread, means I should report the bang line bug to an mitmproxy forum?

pip install mitmproxy - fails on watchdog-0.8.3.tar.gz with "Permission denied" error (Python 2.7.11 on Win XP SP3);
Greetings To Python-list,
I'm trying to install Python package:
mitmproxy (https://mitmproxy.org/)
on Windows XP SP3.
I'm a complete Python newbie. Not planning to do any Python programming
at this time. Just trying to get package mitmproxy working (or at least
the mitmdump component, since "There is no interactive user interface on
Windows." per:
http://docs.mitmproxy.org/en/stable/install.html
* * *
* * *
I have installed Python that announces itself on the Python command line
as:
Python 2.7.11 (v2.7.11:6d1b6a68f775, Dec 5 2015, 20:32:19) [MSC
v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
* * *
* * *
I'm using the following command in a Win XP cmd.exe shell (not the
Python shell) to install mitmproxy:
pip install mitmproxy
The first install attempt failed, ending with some diagnostics displayed
in the Win XP cmd.exe shell window:
