Python PIP Path in Windows 10

Question

I just installed Python 2.7.10, Release Date: 2015-05-23 in Windows. Then I tried to call PIP via the shell, which failed. So I assumed that the Scripts directory in of Python had not been added to the Path Variable. However, it had been added, but as

 C:\Program Files\Python27\Scripts;

instead of

 C:\Program Files\Python27\Scripts\;

I added the later and PIP immediately worked. Is it safe now to delete the former? And how can I notify the developers of this bug?

Answer 1

Is it safe now to delete the former?

Yes, as Zach mentioned you can edit your PATH to whatever you like, the worst that could happen is some program that uses $PATH will no longer be able to find that executable, in which case you can just add it back to PATH.

And how can I notify the developers of this bug?

That's not necessary, because this is not a bug. I am on windows 10, same python version as you, and my PATH has C:\Python27\Scripts; and it works fine. It recognizes pip as a command.

It doesn't matter whether you add the trailing \ or not. Same as you can cd into a folder without appending a \ to its name.
