Olive Kilburn added the comment: The included patch is probably fine, but I have given up testing it, because I think msi.py needs the paid-for version of Microsoft C++ to run. -- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file35504/mywork.patch ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10747 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Westley Martínez added the comment: I understand this is an old issue. Sorry if it is no longer relevant. I have usually have at least two versions of Python installed on Windows: 2.x and 3.x. In Windows 7, if you pin a certain shortcut to the start menu, you can't tell what version of Python is for. I'd like that to be changed. Nick's format looks good. -- nosy: +westley.martinez ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10747 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Nick Coghlan added the comment: Oops, I forgot to assign this to MvL for a yes/no decision as the maintainer of the Windows installer when I first created it years ago. It's too late for 3.4.0 now, so marking this as one for 3.5. However, if Larry and Martin are amenable, it might also be reasonable to include in the 3.4.1 maintenance release. -- assignee: - loewis nosy: +larry, loewis stage: - needs patch versions: +Python 3.5 -Python 3.3 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10747 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Nick Coghlan added the comment: One suggestion I like from the thread (thanks for digging up that reference Mark) is to drop the GUI from the IDLE shortcut. The other suggestions I don't think are worth worrying about - these names have been as they are for quite some time, and it's mainly just the parallel 2 vs 3 installations that get a bit confusing. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10747 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I don't see any reason not to change the next release of all versions. My only concern is about the length and whether Windows has a limit for either the start menu or the taskbar tooltip popup The Doc server icon should be removed from 3.x until it is made to work again (as it still does in latest 2.7). See #14512. But I would prefer that it were fixed. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10747 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue10747] Include version info in Windows shortcuts
New submission from Nick Coghlan ncogh...@gmail.com: This issue is to propose specific wording to Martin for inclusion of version details in the Windows shortcuts. This is to make the shortcuts easier to use when the hierarchical menu information is lost for any reason (e.g frequently used program list, searching the start menu, copied to desktop). 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) Any feedback/alternate suggestions/bikeshedding on the python-dev thread, please ;) -- messages: 124427 nosy: ncoghlan priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Include version info in Windows shortcuts type: feature request ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10747 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
