Hi, Please create an MSI package. (like Python v3.4.4 or Python v2.7.18)
https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.4.4/python-3.4.4.amd64.msi
https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.18/python-2.7.18.amd64.msi
Thanks.

See https://bugs.python.org/issue25124 for a discussion on why MSI won't be supported going forward.

Thanks, Eric.

Anyone may feel free to create and release their own MSI distro of CPython. I don't even mind if you use the binaries from our releases, as those are signed and your users will be able to know that they aren't modified (it's a little harder to verify the stdlib against the catalog files, but possible for those who care).

(Also, anyone may feel free to *demand payment* for creating an MSI distro. Only do as much for free as you are willing, and no more!)
