How to install python without downtime?

Question

I use Archlinux and I believe that I do not need Idle when I code Python.

Here is the default part of the PKGBUILD file:

./configure --prefix=/usr \ --enable-shared \ --with-threads \ --with-computed-gotos \ --enable-ipv6 \ --with-valgrind \ --with-system-expat \ --with-dbmliborder=gdbm:ndbm \ --with-system-ffi ln -sf idle3 "${pkgdir}"/usr/bin/idle 

Is it possible to create python without installing Idle?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

After all, it is not possible to install Python without Idle. There are no configuration switches or other methods to exclude it. Idle can be an extremely valuable tool. I would venture to say that, although you do not see him today, it may come in handy in the future.
