Carl Karsten added the comment: Another reason to fix: perception. installing to the root looks like a hack. Installing to the proper place* looks professional.
As for it being hard to type, either add it to PATH or put a .bat file in the path. I think vista even supports some sort of symlink, so that might be best. As for easy_install.exe and others breaking when they hit a space, They should be fixed too. avoiding fixing them means people who try to force the installer to do the right thing end up with a headache, which is evil. * proper place isn't always "C:\Program Files" - the installer builder should have an option to determine what it should be. The environment var %ProgramFiles% holds the correct path. There is an API call too. ---------- nosy: +carlfk _____________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1284316> _____________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
