Hi Robb, This address is really for web site issues, but we are mostly old hands, and reasonably well-connected, so we try to act as a helpful channel when we can.
In this case I can't personally help (though another webmaster may, if available, be able to offer advice). I stopped doing system administration for anything but my own machines a long time ago, having done far too much :-) The many mailing list channels available are listed at https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo. I would recommend that you try the distutils list at https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig; they don't actually build the Python installers (the dev who does that lives on python-dev, so that would be the place to go to get the scoop, and your email shows enough signs of competence that you need not fear adverse reactions). It seems like a reasonable enquiry to me, and I'm sorry I can't answer it. I've Cc'd this email to python-dev on the off-chance that someone will recognise my name and let it through, but I don't know how many people are working on the Windows installer or how busy they are. There are plenty of people smart enough to answer your question out there now, it's just a question of finding them. stackoverflow.com has a pretty good Python channel too. In any case, good luck, and thanks for reaching out to Python. regards Steve On Wed, Dec 16, 2015 at 7:29 PM, Mullins, Robb <rmull...@illinois.edu> wrote: > Hi, > > > > Not quite sure where to ask this. > > > > I don’t use Python myself.
