Category: None Group: None Status: Closed Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Pekka Laukkanen (laukpe) Assigned to: Otmar Humbel (otmarhumbel) Summary: Default installation location pretty weird in Windows Initial Comment: The default installation location in Jython installer in Windows is "C:\Documents and Settings\<current_user>\jython<version>". In my opinion this is pretty weird place and can also be a bit problematic because not all scripts and programs handle spaces in the path that well. Also if you want to call Jython from command line with the full path your commands get rather long. In my opinion Jython could, by default, be installed into c: root similarly as Python (e.g. c:\Jython22a1). Tested with Jython 2.2a1 installer and also with the latest HEAD installer from [1] provided by Oti.

A snapshot build with this fix would be nice. I checked [1] but latest was for r3005.

I hope new release gives Jython new users and having a weird default installation location is not the best first impression to give. Things are even worse if you install Jython to the default location because only launching it requires a long command. You can of course put the installation directory into into PATH (but even that is nicer when the path to the directory is short). Hmm, actually the installer could update PATH accordingly -- I'll submit a new issue about that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2006-09-27 00:20 Message: Logged In: NO The revision of the HEAD installer I used was 2916. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=112867&aid=1565629&group_id=12867 |
