Java offers download JDK as Compressed Archive or NodeJS offers download Node as Binaries both give us a compressed file for Linux and windows that we can just unzipped it and put in a custom directory and set some environment variables and start working
I'm aware that Python also have something called Embedded Zip for Windows and nothing like that for Linux as far as I know, and I think this Embedded Zip is not something that the user wants to work with that directly it's for embedding in a C++ application, so it's not the same as options that Java and NodeJS offering My question is why is Python haven't an option for downloading as Compressed Archive? Is it's due to a technical issue? political reasons? or is it just simply because nobody has thought of doing it? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
