When using Python 3.10 on Windows, pip install --user installs scripts to wrong dir

See original GitHub issue
  1. Git clone of ue4-docker
  2. Windows
  3. Python 3.10
  4. Run pip install -e . --user in ue4-docker repo root

Expected: ue4-docker.exe script is installed in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python310\Scripts.

Actual: ue4-docker.exe script is installed in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python31\Scripts.

Python310 != Python31.

Ah! I think I got it: https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3001. Looks like setuptools v60.4.0 fixed it via https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/pull/2953. Although again, this bug should also have affected the site-pacakges, not just the scripts.

But I’d definitely suggest upgrading setuptools and see if that fixes it.

Yeah, definitely this. From what I traced before, {py_version_nodot} is the name being used in the path in that version (later replaced with {py_version_nodot_plat} seen above), and it was previously defined as

py_version = sys.version.split()[0]
py_version_nodot= py_version[0] + py_version[2]

i.e.

>>> sys.version.split()[0][0] + sys.version.split()[0][2]
'31'

and is now

>>> f'{sys.version_info.major}{sys.version_info.minor}'
'310'

And before the above fix, this calculation hadn’t been touched since 2013.

I was on Python 3.10.2. I’ve just upgraded, and will try again. I’d suggest upgrading setuptools as well, perhaps.

The other thing I’d suggest is maybe try the Python installer directly, without Chocolatey? I had a quick look and nothing in the install scripts jumped out at me as “This will affect the user base dir”, but I’m running out of differences.

I just tried again after upgrading to Python 3.10.4, and it still works for me.

From the log:

> py -3.10 -m pip --verbose install --user --editable .

So it’s clearly handing off to setuptools for the relevant step. You might find you can run setup.py develop directly and see what it does.
