Changing 'Scripts/*.exe'
Hello list. I'm moved my old Python27 installation from f:\ProgramFiler\Python27 ( == 'ProgramFiles') to f:\gv\Python27 and now many 'scripts/*.exe' program fails to start since the old path to 'Python.exe' is wrong. E.g. 'Scripts/pip2.exe' has the path "f:\programfiler\python27\python.exe" hard-coded inside it. Is there a easy way to fix this w/o re-installing this old Python? -- --gv -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Yes, by putting a symbolic-link at the old 'programfiler' location which points to the new 'gv' installation. Regret that not using MS-Windows, can't give exact instruction.

However, my view is that email privacy, while very important, is an oxymoron. If you need encrypted messages you would never use email. You would meet under a waterfall. A friend and I used to encrypt our emails. Anyone decrypting them would find sensitive information from two old farts bitching about the weather. My approach is give them so much data they drown in it. Of course with NSA's Bluffdale facility, that's one hell of a lot. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Well, I'm reading it as a mail :-). There's a gateway between the usenet group and the mailing list. Any message[1] sent to one shows up on the other. Of course any argument for or against signing messages on public mailing lists also is valid on Usenet. Although there is one additional against it on Usenet: There are more newsreaders which still (30 years after RFC 1341[2]) don't implement MIME correctly. hp [1] Not quite: there's a filter to prevent spam and and some other messages from getting to the mailing list.
