So is that a no for a regular .zip release here? https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/

Don't get me wrong I'm all for options, I just don't get why there is no simple tool-less binary archive for Windows. Why are the only options different variants of installers or additional tools? Why do I need to fetch another tool just to fetch Python?

If this is the final decision then I recommend at least mentioning NuGet prominently on here: https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ (as an alternative to the so-so regular windows installer, since while that one works well enough for a manual install, for an automated one it's just not that ideal)
