1389448 - Windows Install instruction mention `pip` which is actually `pip-script.py`

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: mozregression, defect)

Description

[Jens]

http://mozilla.github.io/mozregression/install.html says for Windows:

> Download and install python 2.7 from ActiveState. It will include pip and set python in your PATH.

then 

> Windows
> pip install -U mozregression

However, there's no pip command after installing from ActiveState:

(I use git bash on Windows)
> $ pip
>bash: pip: command not found

But there is pip-script.py

> $ pip[Tab][Tab]
> pip2.7-script.py  pip2-script.py    pip-script.py

which works.

PS I think it would be great if you moved issue tracking to github too (not just the code). I searched your page 5min until I figured out I'll just go ahead and try to see if there's a 'mozregression' component in BMO. Having it in github for be better for my UX

Thanks for the report.

We'd probably be better off recommending people use mozilla-build (https://wiki.mozilla.org/MozillaBuild) over activestate. I'll look into doing that tomorrow, ni'ing myself as a reminder.

Re: github issues vs bugzilla. We actually used to have the issues in github, but I found it was hard to triage stuff there and inter-relate to other issues in bugzilla (i.e. stuff related to taskcluster or whatever). A bit of a subjective call but I'm not really inclined to go back on it. :) I'll see about pointing to bugzilla a bit better in the docs though.

On second thought, I think I'm going to continue to recommend using activestate. Better to leave things well enough alone.

I updated the contribution section of the site with a link to bugzilla.

Thanks for the report! Closing this now.
