I don't think it's all that bad to include a small script on Windows which runs every few days to check PyPI, then present an option to update the info. This is what Java itself is doing anyway.

I don't get why people are so obsessed about updating the timezone database. Really, this is not worse than having a vulnerable OpenSSL linked with your Python executable. Purity does not bring any advantage here.

Antoine.
