[New-bugs-announce] [issue30531] Windows 10 3.6.1 install disallows pip installs of packages

[Thomas Shinnick]

New submission from Thomas Shinnick:

Installed using python-3.6.1-amd64.exe then tried to pip install a package.  Repeatedly had to manually intervene to open up permissions on python install subdirs, after getting these errors one at a time from pip:
  PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'c:\\program files\\python 3.6\\Lib\\site-packages\\fontTools'
  PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'c:\\program files\\python 3.6\\Scripts\\pylupdate5.exe'
  PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'c:\\program files\\python 3.6\\share'
Gave up and set "full control" on \python 3.6\ dir and contents.

It seems permissions default to "read-only" subdirs which makes pip installs impossible.  Install and pip used under same userid and same session.  I thought I'd clicked yes to any question "install for all users".
