Intel Python 2.7 for Windows, update 2 install

gwf — Mon, 20 Mar 2017 20:46:30 GMT

After installing Intel Python 2017 update 2 (version 2.7), "activate" script in c:\IntelPython27\Scripts does not run. Inside I see:

C:\IntelPython27\Scripts>more activate.bat
@echo off
call "C:\TCAgent1\tools\Miniconda3\Scripts\activate" %*

Is there a problem with the installer (hard-coded install path)?

Hi gwf,

The path is hardcoded. I had to install the same version you are using on Windows 10 and I can see the contents for activate.bat with the same hardcoded path you mention.

In fact I have no folder C:\TCAgent1 in my computer.

The deactivate.bat file has the same problem.

Intel staff monitors this forum and they should get this bug solved in the next release.

All the scripts in the pkgs

All the scripts in the pkgs\conda-4.2.12-py27_intel_0\Scripts folder have a wrong hardcoded path. For example, the activate file includes the following code (not for Windows, but with a Windows path):

#!/usr/bin/env bash
source C:\TCAgent1\tools\Miniconda3\Scripts\activate "$@"

The deactivate file has the following code (again, not for Windows but with a Windows path):

#!/usr/bin/env bash
source C:\TCAgent1\tools\Miniconda3\Scripts\deactivate "$@"

I've created a new thread

I've created a new thread with a bug report with specific information about this issue, just to make sure Intel monitors it and can provide a solution to this issue or a patch in a future release: https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-distribution-for-python/topic/721590

I've provided additional information in the related thread. We will have a response very soon.

gwf, Gaston,

gwf, Gaston,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are working on a fix for this.

In the meantime, you can install an updated conda package from the default channel on anaconda.org:

<path_to_install_dir>\Scripts\conda install conda=4.2.12=py27_0

That command will replace the existing "conda" package with the same version from the "defaults" channel, which does not have the problem.

Thank you for your understanding.

Todd
