The MSI installer for Python through 2.7.16 on Windows defaults to the C:\Python27 directory, which makes it easier for local users to deploy Trojan horse code. (This also affects old 3.x releases before 3.5.) NOTE: the vendor's position is that it is the user's responsibility to ensure C:\Python27 access control or choose a different directory, because backwards compatibility requires that C:\Python27 remain the default for 2.7.x

** EN DISPUTA ** El instalador de MSI para Python mediante la versión 2.7.16 en Windows utiliza por defecto el directorio C: \ Python27, lo que facilita que los usuarios locales implementen el código Trojan Horse. (Esto también afecta a las versiones anteriores de la versión 3.x anteriores a la 3.5). NOTA: la posición del proveedor es que es responsabilidad del usuario garantizar el control de acceso C: \ Python27 o elegir un directorio diferente, ya que la compatibilidad con versiones anteriores requiere que C: \ Python27 siga siendo el por defecto para 2.7.x.
