Python 3.4.2和pip权限问题

Question

I've been struggling with an issue with Python and pip installs (python version 3.4.2, same with x86 or x64 MSIs, Windows 7 x64). I'm using the CPython installer available from the Python.org website.

When I install, I get the UAC prompt, which I approve, and it installs fine to D:\\opt\\python34 (along with pip, as added in 3.4.2 installations by default). Then, as standard procedure, I add the install path and Scripts subfolder to the user path variable. Now, the issues are as follows:

1. Whenever I run python setup.py install inside any package directory, the prompt hangs at writing ... to top_level.txt or writing to dependency_links.txt or etc. (Same issue happens if I create a virtual environment using python -m venv, activate it, and do python setup.py install). Setup.py never succeeds. Pip install also hangs infinitely after giving a warning "manifest_maker: Standard file '-c' not found."

2. If I remove setuptools, and just use distribute, then "python setup.py install" works.

Kindly assist with ideas/solutions.

Answer 1

After many days of trying a workaround, I finally got down to debugging the setup.py script and setuptools and distutils. Figured out the problem was a missing "svn.exe" on my workstation, which caused the "svn_finder" function in setuptools core to hang up.

Can someone point me in the right direction as to how I can make the right team aware of the "bug"?
