#412: PEP 711 - Distributing Python Binaries
What if we distributed CPython, the runtime, in the same way we distributed Python packages - as prebuilt binary wheels that only need to be downloaded and unzipped to run?

Nathaniel Smith has just proposed a PEP to do just that, PEP 711. And we'll dive into that with him next.
