Don't zip files support self-extracting archives? Google says that the most common archivers (WinZip, 7-Zip, WinRar, etc) do, and I've seen people talking about making self-extracting archives on Ubuntu. The low-hanging fruit here is probably for Python's zip library to support self-extracting archives for the most common platforms. -- Steve _______________________________________________ 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/GPWFPRRPSIYIABUMVRAV4RFEO265CRUZ/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
