What do you think of adding PyInstaller as an official part of CPython?
Before asking *us*, you ought to ask what the PyInstaller developers think of the idea of: - relinquishing copyright to the PSF; - operating under the control of the Python core developers and steering council, under their terms; - releasing versions under the schedule of the Python interpreter; - under CPython's rules about backwards compatibility and new features; etc. Unless the PyInstaller devs are willing to do all that, there is no point to even think about moving development under CPython. We're not going to just take the project away from them. -- Steve
