[issue1284316] Win32: Security problem with default installation directory

[Jason R. Coombs]

Jason R. Coombs added the comment:

I still disagree. If the preferable place for Python to be installed is not in the root (and I fervently feel so), then there could be a transitional approach to move it to the appropriate place, such as creating symbolic links from the legacy destinations (as an opt-out option).

Still, as Martin said, a change to the default install location would require a PEP that would have to address these concerns.
