[New-bugs-announce] [issue36086] Split IDLE into separate feature in Windows installer

[Jacob Bundgaard]

New submission from Jacob Bundgaard <jacob at jacobbundgaard.dk>:

I don't use IDLE to edit Python files, but do use tcl/tk for Python projects on Windows. Therefore, it would be useful for me to be able to install tcl/tk without also installing IDLE. However, in the Windows installer, tcl/tk and IDLE are bundled together into one feature.

Splitting them into two features (the IDLE feature requiring the tcl/tk one) would reduce installation time, storage use, Explorer context menu cluttering, etc. for users like me.
