Using setuptools to make django-admin.py runnable on Windows (#21340)

2013-11-24 Thread Rémi Rampin
Hi developers, On Windows, running the django-admin.py tool is painful[1], because .py scripts are not "executable". You might be able to run it using the full path (if Python is the default handler for .py files, which it really shouldn't be). Most probably you'll need to copy it to your project

Hi, I am pretty much against setuptools and given that pip is somewhat becoming the defacto-standard to install stuff; I'd ask Donald what can be done here (cc'ed him). I don't think it's a good idea to fix this in Django since this is imo a problem in Python itself. Regards, Florian On Sunda

The recommended build tool at the moment is setuptools. It's up to the individual project to decide if they think the install story for setutpools pre 3.4 is appropriate for them. This'll get better in general in the future with MSI installers for setuptools and pip > On Nov 24, 2013, at 2:37
