[Python-ideas] (Windows-only - calling Steve Dower) Consider addinga symlink to pip in the same location as the py launcher

[Steve Dower]

I'd like to add a launcher in the same style as py.exe, but that would upset people who manually configure their PATH appropriately.

Personally, I find "py.exe -m pip" quite okay, but appreciate the idea. I'm thinking about this issue (also for other scripts).

Hello,

If Py3.5 is installed in user mode instead of admin (all users) and we 
follow your advice that we shouldn't add it to the PATH env var, we can 
execute Python using the py launcher, but we can't use pip.
Please consider adding a pip symlink in the same location as the py 
launcher.

Best regards,

JM
