[New-bugs-announce] [issue16328] win_add2path.py sets wrong user path

[Emil Styrke]

New submission from Emil Styrke:

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Python version: 2.7.3 x64

win_add2path.py in the scripts directory is supposed to add the Scripts directory according to its source.  However, it tries to add $PYTHONPATH/Scripts, when in fact the Scripts directory is at $PYTHONPATH/Tools/Scripts in 2.7.

However, it seems like e.g. Setuptools still installs itself in $PYTHONPATH/Scripts, so maybe the right solution is to add both directories.

Furthermore, the script sets the default user path to %PATH%, which is not correct at least on windows 7.  I have to manually delete this part of the user path to get the user path merged correctly with the system path in cmd.exe.
