New submission from Forrest Shields <forrestshiel...@gmail.com>:
Section "3.1.3. Installing Without UI" of the Windows documentation at https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#installing-without-ui does not mention the existence of the `/log` option. However, this option is detailed when the Windows installer is executed with a `/?` argument. (see attached image). The documentation (for all versions that contained the logging option) should be updated. The help dialog also defines the `/simple` option. This appears to overlap with a "name=value" option called SimpleInstall. If both options are still active, then the docs should also mention `/simple`. If this option is deprecated in favor of the "name=value" version, then the help dialog needs to be updated. Finally, I think the docs would be much more readable if the slash options were in a table similar to the "name=value" options. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation, Windows files: Python-3.8.5-for-WIndows--Setup-Help.png messages: 377452 nosy: docs@python, forrestshields2, paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Windows docs for command line install don't mention /log option type: enhancement versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file49473/Python-3.8.5-for-WIndows--Setup-Help.png _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41853> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
