audit trail:
b1 (2024-01-13: using a simple launcher generator, no more NSIS)
b2 (2024-01-23: numba-0.61.0, slight clean-up in launcher infrastructure)
b3 (2024-02-16: after first use of IA to re-engineer the code ... inflexion moment)
rc (2024-02-2x : only 2 packages being not published wheels)

What's the new launchers technic? |
It's a basic direct compilation of a launcher from a template program:
Shimmy method was a more complex method, creating trouble in the anti-virus force. The new solution is:
It was that or relying on frozen forever icon programs generated per NSIS win32 |
Could you share how it is done? |
It's just an implementation of this #1433 , nothing miraculous, nothing invented here, and so more pleasant to anti-viruses. |
I don't understand the new Could you explain the new structure? |
Maybe you don't find winpython.ini creation when there is none, in env.bat:
It's part of the move to reduce ".bat" lines to the minimum, in favor of python lines or simplifications |

it looks that the more the code is small or made per the machine, the more it's usefull.

it takes time, when you switch to AI, to bin between:

Free versions requires a bit of encouragements to do the job:

Winpython64-3.13.2.0dotb3 seems to be missing from the Github assets? Found it from SF though. |
I think the other question is whether you've abandoned the "full" release for good. If so, there may not be a point to calling the non-dot version "slim". |
Was a miss due to internet disruption, now it's there |
It's a question of chain of trust:

I can see a lot of value for WinPython as a FOSS alternative to the Anaconda distribution. Anaconda licensing updates have become cost prohibitive to enterprise organizations (>200 employees), making the Anaconda distribution a non-starter for enterprise work. Providing a version of WinPython that is as close possible to the Anaconda distribution could be a great goal, perhaps just But, there is opportunity to provide a Lastly, I think there is value for a |
Maybe there is even an opportunity to target the same platforms that Anaconda does and bundle other portable editors such as vscode (with Python extensions) or scripton. |
Actually, it looks like Scripton is neither FOSS, nor available for Windows 😞 But it looks like vscode has a portable mode that could work very well for incorporating with WinPython. |
It was a pain to maintain, and relying only on published wheels is the right direction for this voluntary tiny project. |
I hope Numba will get support for NumPy 2.2.x before you publish this. |
No, but you would make millions with a reliable predictor of when Numba will release new versions. |
