New submission from Raymond Hettinger <rhettin...@users.sourceforge.net>:
The Windows installer gives a choice of two install locations, for all users and for the current user; the latter does not require admin rights. It lists optional components, giving the size of each: - Register Extensions 2kb - Tcl/Tk 13mb (includes IDLE) - Documentation 5Mb - Utility Scripts 632kb - Test Suite 9.7Mb. The default is to install all of those. The installer removes any previous versions before installing (including wiping their __pycache__ directories). With the full install, the listing in All Programs (the windows parallel to the Application Folder) includes five entries: - IDLE (gui) - Module Docs (via pydoc) - Python (command-line terminal) - Python Manuals (points to a chm file) - Uninstall Python. In addition to what is offered on Windows, I think there should be an addition entry in the Application Folder for running the test suite so that some one can validate their install without going to the command-line. ---------- components: Installation messages: 128702 nosy: rhettinger priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Make the Mac installer more like the Windows installer type: feature request versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11229> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
