Assuming that’s doable without the whole updating-the-launcher issue, why not make that checkbox inactive by default for prereleases, and only active by default for final releases? That would do exactly what the OP seems to be asking for, right? Is it possible for the installer to see the sys.version_info.releaselevel of the Python it’s installing? If not, I guess it would require a commit every release cycle to mark the new version as “no longer prerelease, so enable the Windows installer checkbox”, but even that doesn’t seem too bad. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/4W7KMXVX73CB2BBVURXG73ZTQZEHACG3/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
