I put my initial proposal (reproduced below) at http://bugs.python.org/issue10747. I'll let this thread run a bit and see if there are any substantial improvements suggested, or valid objections raised (I tried to pre-empt the length issue by pushing the typically least important information to the end). I also considered using the x86 and x64 abbreviations, but being explicit seemed clearer. Shortcuts currently installed: - Python (command line) - Python Manuals - Module Docs - IDLE (Python GUI) - Uninstall Python Initial proposal for 32 bit builds: - Python 3.2 (command line - 32 bit) - Python 3.2 Manuals - Python 3.2 Docs Server (pydoc - 32 bit) - IDLE (Python 3.2 GUI - 32 bit) - Uninstall Python 3.2 (32 bit) Initial proposal for 64 bit builds: - Python 3.2 (command line - 64 bit) - Python 3.2 Manuals - Python 3.2 Docs Server (pydoc - 64 bit) - IDLE (Python 3.2 GUI - 64 bit) - Uninstall Python 3.2 (64 bit) Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
