Move Python Folder Into Program Files Folder?

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21657116

Question

I have Python27 and Python33 folders. Can I move these folders into my Program Files folder or will this cause problems?enter image description here

Was it helpful?

Solution

Simply moving folders will not work.

  • Python file association will not work.
  • .pyc file contains absolute path:
    • You will get old paths in tracebacks.
  • Third-party libraries may have absolute path.

You need to reinstall the interpreter and libraries.

OTHER TIPS

Probably not if you update your path variable to reflect the changes
