Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The old (perfectly good!) installer had many configuration options. But these are all completely missing now.
The specific issue for me is that there is no option to download debug symbols and debug binaries like there used to be.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add all of the old configuration options present in the old installer to the new one, so that they can be configured via the CLI.
Describe alternatives you've considered
- Keep supporting the old installer which always worked completely fine and was actually configurable. This is my preferred option, and would be the least effort to implement IMHO (though it seems they really want to push ahead with this new Python Install Manager).
- Add the old GUI to the new installer and allow setting the options that way so people don't have to try to look for which CLI options they need
Additional context
Pymanager options: https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#configuration
Standalone installer options: https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#installing-without-ui
Some of the missing options:
- Install debug binaries/debug symbols? (Most one important for me)
- For all users?
- Compile to
.pyc?
- Install Tcl/Tk/IDLE?
- Install Pip?
- Install Python Manual?
