[issue36529] Python from WindowsStore: can't install package using "-m pip"

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower <steve.dower at python.org> added the comment:

Yeah, right now you need to also pass --local when you use -m (the bundled pip.exe does this automatically). Your user account does not have permission to install into the global site directory.

Once we update the bundled pip I can add a site-specific configuration file to handle both cases transparently (I had to enable it in pip first before we could make CPython handle it).
