Yep, that seems like the reason. All of that redirection is handled by the OS and I don't think we'd want to override it. However, I suspect we're close to having another discussion about making the 64 bit download the default. There are fewer actual 32-bit OS installs out there (though I don't have real numbers yet) and I think we're seeing more people get confused by the 32-bit installer than would be by an immediate error if they need a different one. That said, ARM devices can only run the 32-bit version. If we start seeing those pick up, we may have to reconsider again. ---------- stage: -> resolved status: pending -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39807> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
