now, trying to rebuild from there as before....

create bupy\WPy64-31503b3
copy ...\AppData\Local\Python\pythoncore-3.15-64 to bupy\WPy64-31503b3\python
- ... it's 150Mo vs 86 Mo.... why.... it's the Doc...
remove bupy\WPy64-31503b3\python\Doc
copy launchers to bupy\WPy64-31503b3
copy directory notebooks, t, wheelhouse, scripts to bupy\WPy64-31503b3
change version WINPYVER in bupy\WPy64-31503b3\scripts\env.ini
bupy\WPy64-31503b3\python ... it's 62.4Mo-2248 files vs 86Mo-4259 files .... why....
- ... it's the mix of local build dying method , and astral doesn't compile the same ....
- zooba dll are signed

Issues:

wppm --movable ... patches the Appdata objects...

but:

python -m wppm --movable -v .. patches the bupy\WPy64-31503b3\python\Scripts\wppm.exe

so... the legacy python download of installers can be replaced , on principle, but needs meditating

re-introduce the bat movable script ?
wppm calling python by relative path ?

pip.exe launcher is to re-install ... same thing as uv ? python -m pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall pip --no-warn-script-location

aaah, with py Appdata\Local\Python\bin creates a pool of launchers like "pip.exe" calling the various targets directory like if "py.exe" ?

replay method:

py install 3.15.0b3t
copy AppData\Local\Python\pythoncore-3.15t-64 as bd315\packages.win-amd64t\python-3.15.0b3.amd64
remove bd315\packages.win-amd64t\python-3.15.0b3.amd64\Doc
zip to python-3.15.0b3.amd64.zip

works... but the pip.exe shortcut is not there... so so...

so now:

no more need to classic download from python.org, that Zooba doesn't check.
remove the discouraged-per-windows practice, before it dies

proc is for prepare new version of python local for python-3.15.0b3t:

winget install 9NQ7512CXL7T
py install 3.15.0b3t
copy AppData\Local\Python\pythoncore-3.15t-64 as bd315\packages.win-amd64t\python-3.15.0b3.amd64
remove bd315\packages.win-amd64t\python-3.15.0b3.amd64\Doc
zip to python-3.15.0b3.amd64.zip
py uninstall --purge
if we want: winget uninstall 9NQ7512CXL7T
