[Tutor] Does Python 2.7 bdist_wininst perform checksum verification?

2018-07-17 Thread Jeanne Ruiz
Hello,


I can't seem to find documentation in docs.python.org that talks about whether 
or not the Python Build Distribution command, bdist_wininst performs checksum 
verification upon installing a Windows executable *.exe. I would think that it 
does but I need a reference(s) that describes this - can someone point me to a 
description of how checksums are used to verify the integrity of the installed 
software?


Any help would be appreciated - thanks!

That's probably a bit off topic for the tutor list, we focus on
beginner to python type stuff. Language issues and standard
library usage.

I'd try the main Python mailing list for more likelihood of
a response.
