They are required for building package installations! dubnerm@mindless.com 2008-03-05 18:39:49 0000 Lookup /usr/lib/python2.4/distutils/command/bdist_wininst.py for more info. These binaries included especially because not everyone can build them on non-windows system. jakub@gentoo.org 2008-03-06 18:56:50 0000 *** Bug 212490 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** jakub@gentoo.org 2008-03-07 04:20:44 0000 *** Bug 212490 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** ssuominen@gentoo.org 2008-03-07 04:58:03 0000 Oh. Python? dubnerm@mindless.com 2008-03-07 21:04:21 0000 So, to move discussion from now-duplicate bug: These binaries needed for those of us, who want (under Linux) to package distribution for Windows (aka python setup bdist --format=wininst). We don't want to discriminate those packagers/distributors. For details lookup the python documentation: http://docs.python.org/dist/postinstallation-script.html Here is quotation from that docs: > If you have a pure module distribution (only containing pure Python modules > and packages), the resulting installer will be version independent and have > a name like foo-1.0.win32.exe. These installers can even be created on Unix > or Mac OS platforms. dubnerm@mindless.com 2008-03-26 18:07:33 0000 Summary should be "dev-lang/python-2.4.4-r9 and dev-lang/python-2.5.1-r5 doesn't installs wininst executables" to reflect what a _real_ bug is. ssuominen@gentoo.org 2008-04-01 15:31:23 0000 Yep, my bad idea got them removed.
