New submission from Kevin Keating: If I use the Python 64-bit 2.7.13 Windows installer and install to C:\Program Files\Python27, then the Scripts folder doesn't get created and pip doesn't get installed. If I uninstall Python and reinstall it to C:\Python27, C:\Programs\Python27, or "C:\Path with spaces\Python27", then the Scripts folder is created and pip works correctly. If I install Python 2.7.12 using https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.12/python-2.7.12.amd64.msi or Python 3.6.1 using https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.1/python-3.6.1-amd64.exe, then I don't experience this issue. This issue does happen if I install to C:\PROGRA~1\Python27, which is the 8.3 filename equivalent of C:\Program Files\Python27. I've seen this on a handful of Windows 10 computers so far. I haven't tried other versions of Windows or the 32-bit installers.
Steps to reproduce: - Download the Python installer from https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.13/python-2.7.13.amd64.msi and run it. - Select "Install for all users" and click Next. - Enter C:\Program Files\Python27 as the installation folder and click Next. - Click on "Register Extensions" and select "Entire feature will be unavailable". (I don't know if this step is required, but it's what I've been doing to test.) Click Next. - Click Yes at the UAC prompt. - Wait for installation to finish. Expected results: The "C:\Program Files\Python27\Scripts" and "C:\Program Files\Python27\Lib\site-packages\pip" folders should get created during the installation. Actual results: Neither of the folders exist. ---------- components: Installation, Windows messages: 296571 nosy: KevKeating, paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Windows installer for 2.7.13 doesn't install pip when installing to C:\Program Files versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30725> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
