It would also be good if the PEP took a position on providing pythonXY.exe binaries on Windows (with the related question of whether it's python32w.exe, python3.2w.exe, pythonw32.exe or pythonw3.2.exe)
I would really like to see this. We do it on other platforms, it is useful there, it would be useful on Windows for the same reasons.
+1. And I'm OK with python3w and python32w as a colour for the bikeshed...
Except for the the spelling of color ;-) I agree. Let 'w' always be the last suffix. With that settled, there is the issue of Start menu shortcuts. I thought we had agreed to put version specific labels on them so we would not have, for instance, identical 'IDLE (Python GUI)' items in the frequently used list. I guess that got lost without a PEP to put it on. Now there is? -- Terry Jan Reedy
