Probably a question for Steve mostly, but how does this work, exactly? I see it's an exe - I was sort of expecting a zip file. Specifically, I was considering using this to make a build of Vim, with Python support, using a copy of Python included with Vim (so no reliance on there being a "system" install of Python). As Vim is open source, "build it yourself", I typically just compile vim and then zip up the application directory. So I'm not clear how an exe "embeddable" installer fits into that scheme. Apologies if the exe is just a self-extracting archive, and the answer is just "run it and tell it where to dump the files". I've not even had a chance to get to somewhere I can download the installer to try it yet :-) Paul _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
