It's very tempting to think "oh, I could just make it easier for my users, and then they don't have to think about anything". But what happens when there's a security patch for Python? Are they going to continue to not > think about the dependency?
There seems to be an assumption here that having a natively installable app automatically means bundling everything, including the Python executable. It doesn't have to be that way. There's no reason the installed app can't use a previously installed Python or other libraries. I still think it would be useful to have some kind of basic installer-creating functionality in the stdlib. Not bundling Python could be the default, or even the only option if you're that concerned about it. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/YKY5XHAKFFTSDP772SKEDCJ4LPAYV2TE/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
