see package list ?

3.7.4.1 = with PyQt5
3.7.4.1cod = with PyQt5, vscode portable + python-vscode, but without Tensorflow nor PyTorch
3.7.4.1ps2 = with PySide2, so Spyder not working.

I want vscode, and Tensorflow/PyTorch, why not combine 3741 and 3741cod, for file size ?

@dearfad yes. You can just copy the "/t/vscode" of the "cod" branch in the other ones (at the same relative place) , and your good to go.

with Tensorflow-2 and PyTorch-1.3 in the cod branch, it will be a 680 Mo download, not small,

It would be very nice if the differences between the packages could be explained on the homepage. If someone new comes along to find a portable python to download, they are confronted with 8 different versions of WinPython to download and absolutely no information about which one they should click.

@Ivoz you're right. This shall be improved a bit.

Would this be better ?

  • dot and Zero version have their own lines,
  • names of today binaries are used ,instead of past practice binary names,
  • don't repeat the download generic link more than necessary,
  • remain in current html comfort zone.

I think having a legend box explaining the different versions would be a big help, e.g:

  • (Default) = Comes with PyQt5 and Spyder IDE
  • Pyside = Same as default, but with PySide2 instead of PyQt5
  • Code = Same as default, and includes an integrated VSCode IDE
  • Zero = minimal version, mostly just python

Also, all the doubling of x86/x64 clutters things up. I would just have two links side by side, or do some javascript to switch between them (if you or someone in project likes frontend work). e.g

WinPython 3.7.4.1 (Zero) -> [ (32-bit), (64-bit) ]

All the clutter from repeated text in general makes it a less friendly form. If "Python 3.7.4" is used in all 8 of the below downloads, no need to repeat that information 8 times!

Thanks for paying attention to a usability issue!
