Issue 34030: easy_install from Python 3.7 (Win64) cannot install modules (original) (raw)

When trying to install a module (pycrypto in this case), easy_install fails with the following error (run via Git Bash)

$ easy_install pycrypto-2.6.win-amd64-py3.3.exe Processing pycrypto-2.6.win-amd64-py3.3.exe error: [WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: 'C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Temp\easy_install-z4dfyyqo\pycrypto-2.6-py3.7-win32.egg.tmp\Crypto\Cipher\__pycache__\AES.cpython-33.pyc'

The version of easy_install that ships with Python 3.6 works as expected.
