Why There Is No Python Compressed Archive or Binaries ?

[Sina Mobasheri]

It's cool project definitely something that I'm personally interested about, but I talking about compressed archive of cpython that we can simply unzipped and starting developing an app, not running  an app that already developed... 😀

I maintain a small project that provides this, a drop-in Python runtime you can ship without installation called Feet. Get it? It makes Python run.

Java offers download JDK as Compressed Archive<https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/#jdk17-linux> or NodeJS offers download Node as Binaries<https://nodejs.org/en/download/current/> both give us a compressed file for Linux and windows that we can just unzipped it and put in a custom directory and set some environment variables and start working

I'm aware that Python also have something called Embedded Zip<https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.10.1/python-3.10.1-embed-amd64.zip> for Windows and nothing like that for Linux as far as I know, and I think this Embedded Zip is not something that user wants to work with that directly it's for embedding in a C++ application, so it's not the same as options that Java and NodeJS offers

My question is why Python hasn't option for downloading as Compressed Archive ?
