Changing the installer should be easy - there is a DuplicateFile table in MSI (*) for this kind of installation task. I'd still like the PEP to tell me whether it's python3w.exe or pythonw3.exe (and yes, that's bikeshedding - so somebody just tell me). It would also be good if the PEP took a position on providing pythonXY.exe binaries on Windows (with the related question of whether it's python32w.exe, python3.2w.exe, pythonw32.exe or pythonw3.2.exe) Regards, Martin (*) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368335(v=vs.85).aspx _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
