Steve Dower added the comment: Changing the default install directory in a maintenance release is not okay.
Users who are concerned about security can change the install directory, and bugs that arise as a result will be considered on their own merits. Alternatively, you can obtain Python 2.7 from one of the companies who maintain a distribution (such as Continuum Analytics). Some of them default to a secure install directory. ---------- stage: test needed -> resolved versions: -Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1284316> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
