[issue16131] Pylauncher is being installed in Windows system folder
New submission from Piotr Dobrogost: Pylauncher in Python 3.3 is being installed in Windows system folder instead of Program Files folder. That's against platform rules. It should be installed in the same folder Python is installed or in its own folder under Program Files folder. In the former case this folder starting from Python 3.3 is added to PATH, in the latter case there should be an option in installer to add Pylauncher's folder to PATH.

Piotr Dobrogost added the comment: I read this pep. It doesn't tell why installing in Program Files and adding install folder to PATH wasn't chosen.

[issue16131] Pylauncher is being installed in Windows system folder
Martin v. Löwis added the comment: I read the discussion, but couldn't see anything relevant in it. Please be explicit. As for the reading the PEP, consider this paragraph in particular: It may be surprising that the launcher is installed into the Windows directory, and not the System32 directory. The reason is that the System32 directory is not on the Path of a 32-bit process running on a 64-bit system. However, the Windows directory is always on the path. I think this is quite an explicit rationale. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue16131 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
