I observed that Windows installer is able to add only the Python installation folder to the path. In addition to this it should add the Scrips folder because many python tools are installing scripts inside it, scripts that the user cannot us unless he add this directory to the path. This is very annoying because if you modify the PATH you need to logout/login in order to be able to use the new PATH value. |

For now you can modify the path yourself, and only once, by following these instructions: 1) Open the System Properties either via the Control Panel or pressing WinKey-Pause 2) Click on the tab that says Advanced 3) Click on Environment Variables 4) Under System Variables, scroll down and find Path 5) Click on Edit 6) Add ;X:/PythonXX/Scripts where X is the appropriate drive letter and python version. 7) Click OK, and OK again. You might have to reboot, but now that it is added, you don't have to manually update it. |

Thanks Isaul, Anyway I made the required change before submitting the bug first time and additionally to what you wrote it is enough to logout/login to update the path - no reboot required. The bug is about repairing/improving Python experience for all Windows users. Imagine that you want to deploy Python plus some extensions to many Windows computers - you will have a hard time adding Script directory to the path. |
