Changing 'Scripts/*.exe'

2022-10-01 Thread Gisle Vanem via Python-list

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?

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. Please

Yes, but I'm reading this as a usenet-message (comp.lang.python), not as 
a mail.

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.

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.

[1] Not quite: there's a filter to prevent spam and and some other
messages from getting to the mailing list.
[2] Yeah! Anniversary! (Throws confetti, blows a vuvuzela)
