[issue36086] Split IDLE into separate feature in Windows installer
New submission from Jacob Bundgaard : I don't use IDLE to edit Python files, but do use tcl/tk for Python projects on Windows. Therefore, it would be useful for me to be able to install tcl/tk without also installing IDLE. However, in the Windows installer, tcl/tk and IDLE are bundled together into one feature. Splitting them into two features (the IDLE feature requiring the tcl/tk one) would reduce installation time, storage use, Explorer context menu cluttering, etc. for users like me. -- components: Installation messages: 336352 nosy: kimsey0 priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Split IDLE into separate feature in Windows installer type: enhancement versions: Python 3.8 ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue36086> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Jacob Bundgaard added the comment: I'm glad to hear that you might consider a patch. I've created a draft pull request for this, but I still need to figure out how to encode the dependency from IDLE to Tcl/Tk in WIX. Do you have any insights? -- ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue36086> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
