New submission from Paul Hammant: It NEEDS to communicate more as to why it is rolling back the pip install (progress bar goes backwards, install fails).
Reasons can be: 1. older/wrong versions of Python listed in the PATH - eg c:\Python27 encountered when c:\Python34 is being installed. User should redo PATH env-var. 2. PYTHONPATH similarly set to the wrong thing. User should delete PYTHONPATH env-vars. 3. Incompatible Python installed. User should uninstall other Python's first. The windows install does not have to silently fail on the pip piece. It can do more to inform them end-user, and not drive them off to stackoverflow. ---------- components: Windows messages: 258266 nosy: Paul Hammant, paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Windows Installer can sometimes silently fail pip stage versions: Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26119> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
