The installer of Python should have consistent sentences, the ones in bold.

There's one sentence that needs fixing. The sentence "Completing the Python x.x.x Installer" should be "Complete the Python x.x.x Installer", because other sentences are in the form of "Install xxx" and "Customize xxx" (they are not written as "Installing xxx" and "Customizing xxx"). Please fix this.

What installer?

Please provide a patch.

I'd like a native speaker (of English) to confirm this request.

The report is about Tools/msi/msi.py.

I think Boštjan is correct that that sentence is not parallel to the others.  If I understand correctly, at that point the installation is complete, and it is the final 'exit or back' dialog.  So I think the title should be "Complete Python x.x.x Installation".  Note, however, that I'm just looking at the code, not running the install.  Brian has more experience with the typical installer dialogs, so he'll have a better opinion, I think.

Changing "Completing" to "Complete" seems fine to me.

Here is a screenshot of where this currently appears: http://i.imgur.com/RX9b9.png

Is this fixed or what?

No.

Can you please fix this?

Yes.

After more than a year the patch is finally made. Can someone please applies this patch and closes this issue report? Thanks.
msg152325 - (view) Author: Boštjan Mejak (Retro) Date: 2012-01-30 15:14
Please apply this patch.
msg152383 - (view) Author: Boštjan Mejak (Retro) Date: 2012-01-31 13:06
Rather apply the patch, not change the title.
msg152405 - (view) Author: Boštjan Mejak (Retro) Date: 2012-01-31 20:50
Apply this patch. It is not necessary to change the title of this issue report, it is of most importance that this patch gets applied already after more than a year. Come on people, move your butts on this.

Retro, this kind of tone is not appropriate for the bug tracker, and not appreciated at all by core developers.
msg152413 - (view) Author: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) * (Python committer) Date: 2012-01-31 23:17
Retro: Indeed I'm ignoring your reports because of your tone. If you want to insult me, go ahead, but please don't use the bug tracker (I can ignore insults pretty well by now). If you want to achieve something, stop insulting people.
