[New-bugs-announce] [issue17419] bdist_wininst installer should allow install in user directory

[Sergio Callegari]

New submission from Sergio Callegari:

When installing a package by calling setup you have a --user option to install the package for a single user in his disk area.

E.g.,

python setup.py install --user

A similar possibility should be offered via the windows installer

An exe created by

python setup.py bdist_wininst

when run should offer a tickbox to install in the user disk area rather than globally.
