Category: Build Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None >Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jim Jewett (jimjjewett) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: tools and demo missing from windows Initial Comment: The windows distribution (I'm currently looking at 2.5b3) does not contain a Demo directory, and the Tools directory contains only five subdirectories (i18n, pynche, Scripts, versioncheck, webchecker) SVN Head lists 20 directories under Demo and 17 under Tools. At a first pass, all except tools/audiopy (Solaris specific) are relevant on Windows, and some tools (such as freeze, msi) even have windows-specific code. I've marked it 2.5 because consistency with other platforms seems like a bugfix, even if it does introduce new features to windows. (And note that it only adds new files that are not on the standard path, which should limit the risks.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Date: 2006-08-18 09:04 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 This must wait until 2.5.1; more likely 2.6. The Windows distribution was structured that way always, so it's not a regression. "Consistency with other platforms" is not a valid argument: there are no binary distributions for other platforms except for OSX (whether that includes Tools or Demo, I don't know). The source distribution for Windows is the very same as the source distribution for other platforms, and it does include Tools and Demo, so it's (trivially) consistent. I don't think the Demo directory should be included. The equivalent of a binary distribution on Unix (make install) doesn't install the Demos, either. As for the Tools directory: this traditionally includes directories on a per-request basis. If there is an actual need for another tool, it should be added. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1541420&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
