Simple Python package to demonstrate pypa/pip/#2892 🐛
Doing pip install on Windows for a package that creates a
deep hierarchy of directories (e.g. by using npm install
internally) fails to remove its temporary build directory
pip-*-build because of the path length limitations imposed
by Windows. This leaves the package "half installed".
- Windows 7
- Python 2.7.9
- pip 7.0.3
- virtualenv 13.0.3
- setuptools 17.0
- nodejs/npm >=0.12.4
Running pip install . on a Windows machine should fail.
Do this in a virtual environment to keep the system clean.
