[New-bugs-announce] [issue34643] How to build Release Version of Python in Windows?

[Valentin Zhao]

New submission from Valentin Zhao <jmsqzzl at gmail.com>:

I am going to build a Python.exe to migrate it to another PC, in order to build a seemingly virtual *environment* of Python which could run python files. What I do to implement this is to *COPY* \win32 folder to another pc then execute python.exe with specific python file path tagged along.

For now, it works well, however, I met with a strange problem that I cannot find *tcl* under current file hierarchy and this library is generated very deeply so I have to extract it to the root directory manually. 

Surprisingly, I found that I can directly *COPY* all the folders generated by *msi installer* to another pc then use it. Nevertheless, I fret about there could be some registration thing during installation.

So how could I compile the source and make it generate folder hierarchy like the release version(like the snapshot I attached below)? I have read README.md in the \PCBuild yet it helps little.
