[Python-Dev] Status of PEP 397 - Python launcher for Windows

[Mark Hammond]

I'm wondering what thoughts are on PEP 397, the Python launcher for 
Windows.  I've been using the implementation for a number of months now 
and I find it incredibly useful.

To my mind, the specific steps would be:

* Have someone pronounce it as accepted (or suggest steps to be taken 
before such a pronouncement).  I can't recall the current process - does 
Guido have to pronounce personally or formally delegate to a czar?

* Move the source into the Python tree and update the build process.

* Arrange for it to be installed with the next release of 3.2 and all 
future versions - I'm happy to try and help with that, but will probably 
need some help from Martin.

* Write some user-oriented docs.

Thoughts or comments?
