Subject: Re: pip install mitmproxy - fails on watchdog-0.8.3.tar.gz with
"Permission denied" error (Python 2.7.11 on Win XP SP3);
In case other Windows XP "orphans" want to use mitmdump, here's what
I
learned (via Google):
I changed the bang line (wrapping the pathname in double quotes) in
file
mitmdump-script.py:
from: #!e:\a p p s\python27\python.exe
to: #!"e:\a p p s\python27\python.exe"
Spaces in names are often a pain. I'd raise this upstream as a bug
report - it should be fixed properly rather than depending on manual
editing.
I'd like to raise the bug report you suggest, but I'm not clear on the
meaning of the word "upstream" in relation to Python-list. (I've seen
"upstream" used by participants in another forum
<pgsql-gene...@postgresql.org> and always wondered what "upstream" meant
there.)
I know what "upstream" means, in terms of: water flow in a river, or
vehicle flow on a highway, or data flow over a comms link. "upstream" is
where a moving particle was, earlier in time
But my puzzlement is -- where is "upstream" in relation to an email
forum, in the context of a thread?
The fix for the mitmdump bang line bug was applied to file
mitmdump-script.py, and according to its "Date Modified" field on my Win
XP, this file arrived in the e:\a p p s\Python27\Scripts\ directory,
when I installed mitmproxy. So it looks to me like file
mitmdump-script.py is a product of the mitmproxy project.
Am I correct in assuming, that "upstream" in the context of this present
thread, means I should report the bang line bug to an mitmproxy forum?
Steve
