Doc issues are pretty much by definition easy in the sense of the easy keyword (doable in a day) (unless they are controversial), so we don't bother to attach the easy keyword to them. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11834> _______________________________________

Mark Mc Mahon <mtnbikingmark@gmail.com> added the comment: Reviewing the patch (issue133572.py33.patch): You have used forward slashes for the first change - but back slashes for the others. I see that other places in the existing docs use back slashes when referring to windows paths. I have never used the --prefix option - but I am surprised that it would install scripts to prefix\Lib\site-packages (without the prefix option scripts are installed in pythondir\Scripts. Maybe installing something like grin/pylint/etc which has an executable script is a way to verify? ---------- nosy: +markm _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11834> _______________________________________
Bryce Verdier <bryceverdier@gmail.com> added the comment: Ok, so after getting some off list help, I changed the defaults to what they should be. Also, Mark was right, "--install-scripts" generally puts things in pythondir\Scripts... as tested with pylint, mako, and some others. I changed data back to Data... though I could no verify it. Even with --install-data, I couldn't seem to find a new Data directory. Maybe I was doing something wrong. Anyway, here is the new patch. ---------- nosy: -brian.curtin, markm Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file21806/issue133572.py33.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11834> _______________________________________
