Message 164660 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

I'm glad you're willing to consider using a checkbox. It seems to fit better with the wizard paradigm, where there are always [ < Back ], [ Next > ], and [ Cancel ] buttons onscreen.

OK, I acknowledge that a lot of third-party software still depends on Python 2. Fine. Why not modify the Python 3 installer to add Python 3 to the end of the PATH variable, not the beginning? Then I think you could safely modify the PATH variable by default.
