Yes, referring to the Python3 python.org installers -- I'm seeing this practice of bundling libs (particularly ssl) become more common as operating system support lags behind. In my mind it becomes easier to bundle deps in a binary installer across the board (Linux, OSX, Windows) rather than rely on whatever version the operating system provides. m -- Matt Billenstein m...@vazor.com http://www.vazor.com/ _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
