If anyone would like to try this out early, here's some instructions for a build I just made. Enable sideloading apps on your machine (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/get-started/enable-your-device-for-development - may already be done, sideload or developer mode should do) In a regular (non-admin) PowerShell prompt in a temporary directory, run these commands: iwr "https://dev.azure.com/Python/8e426817-76c0-4b99-ba9e-a48a1e4bd5db/_apis/build/builds/34540/artifacts?artifactName=appx&api-version=5.0-preview.5&%24format=zip" -outfile python37.zip Expand-Archive .\python37.zip . Add-AppxPackage appx\python.msix (The first may take a while as it downloads approx. 80MB. I'm intending to leave the test suite out of the final package, which should bring it down closer to 40MB.) Now play with it: $> python.exe $> python3.exe $> python3.7.exe $> pip.exe $> pip3.exe $> pip3.7.exe $> idle.exe $> idle3.exe $> idle3.7.exe (Or press Win+S and search for new entries) To remove it: Remove-AppxPackage (Get-AppxPackage *Python.3.7) (delete the downloaded files) Right now, the py.exe launcher can't find it, nor can any tools that rely on enumerating the registry - directly requesting the reg keys will return the right values though. VS Code seems to pick it up just fine though, I guess because it's on PATH. ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34977> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
