Issue 1541412: most missing from Windows distribution (original) (raw)

The windows distribution (I'm currently looking at 2.5b3) does not contain a Demo directory, and the Tools directory contains only five packages (i18n, pynche, Scripts, versioncheck, webchecker)

SVN Head lists 20 directories under Demo and 17 under Tools.

At a first pass, all except tools/audiopy (Solaris specific) are relevant on Windows, and some tools (such as freeze, msi) even have windows-specific code.

I've marked it 2.5 because consistency with other platforms seems like a bugfix, even if it does introduce new features to windows. (And note that it only adds new files that are not on the standard path, so no old behavior should change.)
