New submission from Roman <nibor...@gmail.com>:
The Python 3.8 for Windows installer has an option to add the install folder to the path environment variable. It adds the path to the front of the list so that it is the first item. According to my understanding, this is bad behavior. It should add new path items to the end of the list because Windows searches in order. c:\windows\system32 should remain the first item in the list. This is a classic mistake of installers. ---------- components: Installation messages: 368312 nosy: Roman priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: path environment variable not created correctly type: behavior versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40542> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
