Steve Dower added the comment: This is deliberate. You should "vendor" packages into the embedded distro by copying them from an install into a regular one. Your application installer should put the correct files onto the user's machine - don't rely on pip.
If that last sentence didn't make sense, then you probably shouldn't be using the embedded distro. If you're just looking for a lightweight install of Python that doesn't have any obvious entry points or registration, see whether https://www.nuget.org/packages/python/ fits your needs. ---------- resolution: -> not a bug status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27617> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
