New submission from Christian Ullrich:
After installing python-3.4.0.amd64.msi on Windows 8.1 x64, the "pip" command
(and the versioned ones as well) only work for administrators. Regular users
get this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Program Files\Python34\lib\runpy.py", line 171, in
_run_module_as_main
"__main__", mod_spec)
File "C:\Program Files\Python34\lib\runpy.py", line 86, in _run_code
exec(code, run_globals)
File "C:\Program Files\Python34\Scripts\pip.exe\__main__.py", line 5, in
<module>
ImportError: cannot import name 'main'
The immediate reason is that the files in the site-packages/pip directory are
created with no access permissions for non-administrators:
C:\Program Files\Python34\Lib\site-packages\pip>icacls __main__.py
__main__.py NT-AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(F)
BUILTIN\Administrators:(F)
abc\Admin:(F)
Why that is, I have no idea. It can be fixed by running:
icacls path\to\site-packages\pip /inheritance:e /t
icacls path\to\site-packages\pip /reset /t
The /reset may be unnecessary.
