New submission from Mathieu Dupuy <[email protected]>:
I think it's been a long time since Windows/IE no longer mess up with file
extensions, so long I can't recall anymore. I just tried on a Windows 7 + IE 11
(released in 2013) to download the .tar.bz2 archive from docs.python.org and it
worked alright.
To me, that entry makes Python looks bad ("the archive format we use does not
work correctly on the most common, main desktop platform"), the problem seems
to not exist anymore, and IMHO, is not really Python related.
I think that entry should be removed.
