Agreed, though if we started including versioned executables wouldn't that resolve this issue naturally? (As in, we'd search for python3.exe and find it?) FWIW, I'm not a huge fan of including versioned executables - I would much rather include versioned *launchers*, so we can put them all in the one directory and avoid cluttering the search path (i.e. rename "py.exe" to "python.exe", "python2.exe" and "python3.exe" and have it check its own name before searching). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28686> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
