Issue2376

Scripts that install to $JYTHON_HOME/bin should be marked executable when they're put there when a distribution is installed by pip. They're not. But easy_install does not have this problem. I suspect this is caused by pip's new behavior of installing everything from wheels.

I'm not seeing this behavior, all the scripts I have installed with the bundled 2.7.0 pip wheel are marked as executable, such as

It's possible that this is wheel-specific vs not using wheels, but I have 56 scripts installed, all marked executable. Surely some of these are coming from wheels, given the popularity of the format, but I didn't look specifically.

Best to go with your specific example from PyPI to see what's happening, or if this requires running on a specific OS; I'm using OS X 10.10.4

Yes, I forgot to mention that this happens with the latest pip, not the one bundled with Jython. OS is Ubuntu 15.04.

OK, sounds like a problem where we need to upstream one or more changes from https://github.com/jythontools/pip - presumably we can find the difference there

I found the culprit:

self.set_mode = (os.name == 'posix')

line 83, _vendor/distlib/script.py

I've located the proper changeset in your pip fork. I'll get this upstreamed.

Hm, I just looked at distlib's source and it seems this has already been fixed upstream, but it hasn't been released yet. I'll bug distlib's author to cut a new release and get it re-vendored to pip.

Ok, there's a new distlib release out now. I'll start bugging pip devs now.

Ok, the new distlib has now been re-vendored into pip. Waiting for a new release.

Awesome, thanks for working with the PyPA to make this happen. Looking forward to testing when this vendor update is finalized.

Pip 7.1.1 has been released. I can verify that the problem is gone now.
