Comments welcome, especially on whether Windows users agree that something like this is needed in the absence of PEP 397 in Python 3.3. AFAICT, there is no need to check in the binary into revision control. Instead, the Windows build process should create, package, and deploy them, and venv should then just expect that they are there. So I request that this checkin is reverted, preferably before the alpha release. I also agree with the fundamental principle that an open source project should never ever include binaries for which it doesn't also provide source code. If you cannot release the sources right now, do not release the binaries either.

Agreed. Vinay, please either let me know when this is rectified (see also Nick's request about reverting #12394 specific parts of the commit), or revert the whole PEP 405 implementation for now, if the time is too short: I don't want to delay the alpha much longer. There is still time until beta after all.
