New submission from STINNER Victor <vstin...@redhat.com>:
bdist_wininst only works on Windows: see bpo-10945 and commit 72cd653c4ed7a4f8f8fb06ac364b08a97085a2b5. So $PREFIX/lib/python3.9/distutils/command/wininst-*.exe are useless on Linux (for example). Attached PR modify "make install" to not longer install wininst-*.exe files. I propose to only modify Python 3.9. Even if bdist_wininst only works on Windows on Python 3.*, I don't feel the need to modify other branches. I also started a "Deprecate bdist_wininst" discussion on the Packaging list: https://discuss.python.org/t/deprecate-bdist-wininst/1929 -- Currently, I get these .exe files: $ find /opt/py39dbg/ -name "*.exe" /opt/py39dbg/lib/python3.9/site-packages/setuptools/gui.exe /opt/py39dbg/lib/python3.9/site-packages/setuptools/gui-64.exe /opt/py39dbg/lib/python3.9/site-packages/setuptools/gui-32.exe /opt/py39dbg/lib/python3.9/site-packages/setuptools/cli.exe /opt/py39dbg/lib/python3.9/site-packages/setuptools/cli-64.exe /opt/py39dbg/lib/python3.9/site-packages/setuptools/cli-32.exe /opt/py39dbg/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pip/_vendor/distlib/w64.exe /opt/py39dbg/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pip/_vendor/distlib/w32.exe /opt/py39dbg/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pip/_vendor/distlib/t64.exe /opt/py39dbg/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pip/_vendor/distlib/t32.exe /opt/py39dbg/lib/python3.9/distutils/command/wininst-10.0-amd64.exe /opt/py39dbg/lib/python3.9/distutils/command/wininst-10.0.exe /opt/py39dbg/lib/python3.9/distutils/command/wininst-14.0-amd64.exe /opt/py39dbg/lib/python3.9/distutils/command/wininst-14.0.exe /opt/py39dbg/lib/python3.9/distutils/command/wininst-6.0.exe /opt/py39dbg/lib/python3.9/distutils/command/wininst-7.1.exe /opt/py39dbg/lib/python3.9/distutils/command/wininst-8.0.exe /opt/py39dbg/lib/python3.9/distutils/command/wininst-9.0-amd64.exe /opt/py39dbg/lib/python3.9/distutils/command/wininst-9.0.exe site-packages/setuptools/ and site-packages/pip/ are out of the scope of this issue.
