I don't think there's anything critical, but just in case there could be an issue: > > - Inno installs `backports.configparser`, `certifi`, `dulwich`, `keyring`, `urllib3`, and `win32ctypes` in library.zip. I think these are related to `TortoiseHg` somehow. But I could be wrong about that. I'd favor unifying the set of packages between the installers so everything is consistent. > - Inno installs additional *.pyc files in `wsgiref`. > - ConfigParser.pyc is 24K in WiX, 1.5K in Inno. Probably related to the backport package being present in Inno. > - WiX installs a `mercurial.rc`, corresponding to `contrib/win32/mercurial.ini`; Inno does not. I thought I had fixed this discrepancy... Anyway, I will stamp any patches to converge the final install layout. As for what release, I don't have strong opinions. The Python 3 installer (presumably next release) would be a good time to make any significant changes we're scared of.
