Description

Sometimes the gen_py directory, which registers Python as a Windows scripting language, gets corrupted. Unfortunately, when that happens it is not sufficient to run the package's script to installs that directory, because that script doesn't do anything in that situation: it sees that the directory is already installed, but it doesn't detect the corruption. This ticket needs to do three things:

  • modify install-python.cmd adding a step to detect and remove gen_py

  • create a new script to just remove and recreate that directory

  • modify the instructions to explain this problem and its solution
