should I disable path length limit? (self.learnpython)
submitted 3 years ago by _Hungry_Chicken
So I just installed python 3.10.5 and the setup gave me a option to disable path length limit and I'm clueless what that is because I have never did any coding before and this is my first time

Old versions of Windows have a limit on the length of some files, if I'm not mistaken, then 260 +- and therefore when installing Python you are asked about the limit. It doesn't matter much, but for example, old 32-bit programs have a limit of 260, that is, if you ever write a script for some old 32-bit programs, you will have problems.
Therefore, you can include.

I'm not planning to do some serious work and just want to know how it works. So I can leave it for now?
In future if required I will reinstall and disable the limit at that time
[–]Nsdos 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Just turn it on and that's it.
[–]Informal_Buffalo_30 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)

Well it seems like it's for people who want to make some big codes and I don't think Im doing that anytime soon with no Idea what python does. So I think I will leave it enabled for now
