New submission from Charley Riley <mcriley...@gmail.com>:
After installing Python 3.9.1 on Windows 10 system-wide to "C:\Program Files\Python39", I tried to pip install the package 'dirsearch'. pip refused with the error: "Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable", and proceeded to write to Local AppData (unwanted, so I deleted from AppData). I changed the permissions of the site-packages folder to allow python access (allowed Users and Application Packages full control). Then I retried installing 'dirsearch', which now completed successfully. However, I was warned that my pip version was out of date. So I did: >>> py -m pip install --upgrade pip I ensured py --version = 3.9.1 This failed with "ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'c:\\program files\\python39\\scripts\\pip.exe' I then allowed same permissions as site-packages to the scripts folder. Retried >>> py -m pip install --upgrade pip and I get an error: "C:\Program Files\Python39\python.exe: No module named pip" I navigate to site-packages, where pip directories have been renamed as: ~ip ~ip-21.0.dist-info ---------- components: Installation, Windows messages: 385838 nosy: mcriley821, paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Pip Permissions Error overwriting pip directory type: behavior versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43051> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
