[issue39772] Python 2 FAQ shown in h...@python.org auto reply
Mats Wichmann added the comment: Admit it doesn't seem vastly helpful to pile on with a "not us", but the current webmaster@ autoreply is here: https://github.com/tjguk/python-webmaster/blob/master/auto-responder.txt/. It contains this link: https://docs.python.org/3/faq/index.html/.

[issue26628] Undefined behavior calling C functions with ctypes.Union arguments
Mats Wichmann added the comment: For readers who got here via a search after hitting the new traceback, note the fix in bpo-16575 was reverted. It's still a duplicate issue, so follow the progress there. -- nosy: +mwichmann ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue26628> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue40948] Better identify Windows installer as installer only, not runner
Mats Wichmann added the comment: "on python-list and probably elsewhere"... I can confirm these questions get mailed to webmas...@python.org :) A couple of comments since I see these fairly frequently: The "using" doc page may have too much information for beginner tastes, but at least it answers a lot of questions. but it's hard to find... it would be nice if the OS-specific installation page actually pointed to it - or to a more concise alternative if that's preferred. Applies to Mac as well, as most people who install on Mac seem to have some surprise with it not launching the way they expect. Proposed text: "If you want to run Python, press Start and find 'Python 3.x' under 'P', or enter 'python' in the "Search for anything" box on the taskbar." - why not mention the Python Launcher here? Isn't that the preferred approach now for the pydotorg installer? -- nosy: +mwichmann ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue40948> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue40948] Better identify Windows installer as installer only, not runner
Mats Wichmann added the comment:
> py.exe is preferred *if* one starts python from a command line.
I'm not a habitual Windows user (a certain project is making me spend way more
time there than usual), but if I start typing python to a Windows search, after
the first two letters the launcher is usually the highlighted match ("Best
match" it says on Win10), so it's not *just* from the command line.
