1# Overview 2 3NOTE: This file requires more content. 4 5Since Python 3.7.2, releases have been made through the Microsoft Store 6to allow easy installation on Windows 10.0.17763.0 and later. 7 8# Building 9 10To build the store package, the PC/layout script should be used. 11Execute the directory with the build of Python to package, and pass 12"-h" for full command-line options. 13 14To sideload test builds, you will need a local certificate. 15Instructions are available at 16https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/uwp/packaging/create-certificate-package-signing. 17 18After exporting your certificate, you will need the subject name and 19SHA256 hash. The `certutil -dump <cert file>` command will display this 20information. 21 22To build for sideloading, use these commands in PowerShell: 23 24``` 25$env:APPX_DATA_PUBLISHER=<your certificate subject name> 26$env:APPX_DATA_SHA256=<your certificate SHA256> 27$env:SigningCertificateFile=<your certificate file> 28 29python PC/layout --copy <layout directory> --include-appxmanifest 30Tools/msi/make_appx.ps1 <layout directory> python.msix -sign 31 32Add-AppxPackage python.msix 33``` 34 35(Note that only the last command requires PowerShell, and the others 36can be used from Command Prompt. You can also double-click to install 37the final package.) 38 39To build for publishing to the Store, use these commands: 40 41``` 42$env:APPX_DATA_PUBLISHER = $null 43$env:APPX_DATA_SHA256 = $null 44 45python PC/layout --copy <layout directory> --preset-appxmanifest --precompile 46Tools/msi/make_appx.ps1 <layout directory> python.msix 47``` 48 49Note that this package cannot be installed locally. It may only be 50added to a submission for the store. 51 52 53# Submission Metadata 54 55This file contains the text that we use to fill out the store listing 56for the Microsoft Store. It needs to be entered manually when creating 57a new submission via the dashboard at 58https://partner.microsoft.com/dashboard. 59 60We keep it here for convenience and to allow it to be updated via pull 61requests. 62 63When submitting a new app, the HeadlessAppBypass waiver will be needed. 64To request this, send an email to PartnerOps@microsoft.com with the app 65ID (12 character token available from the dashboard). The waiver needs 66to be applied *before* uploading the package (as of November 2019). 67 68Ensure that the new app is named "Python.3.X", where X is the minor 69version of the release. If the name provided initially does not match 70the name used when building the package, the upload will fail. The 71display name shown to users can be set later. 72 73## Title 74 75Python 3.9 76 77## Short Title 78 79Python 80 81## Description 82 83Python is an easy to learn, powerful programming language. It has efficient high-level data structures and a simple but effective approach to object-oriented programming. Python’s elegant syntax and dynamic typing, together with its interpreted nature, make it an ideal language for scripting and rapid application development in many areas on most platforms. 84 85The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are freely available in source or binary form for all major platforms from the Python web site, https://www.python.org/, and may be freely distributed. The same site also contains distributions of and pointers to many free third party Python modules, programs and tools, and additional documentation. 86 87The Python interpreter is easily extended with new functions and data types implemented in C or C++ (or other languages callable from C). Python is also suitable as an extension language for customizable applications. 88 89## ShortDescription 90 91The Python 3.9 interpreter and runtime. 92 93## Copyright Trademark Information 94 95(c) Python Software Foundation 96 97## Additional License Terms 98 99Visit https://docs.python.org/3.9/license.html for latest license terms. 100 101PSF LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR PYTHON 3.9 102 1031.
