This topic came up at the packaging summit organized this year. It seems that we publish installers for macOS and Windows, however they are no such binaries published for the lineup operating system. Instead we are relying on the operating system to repackage our third distributions, but this means that we give them the opportunity to change the interpreter in ways that introduce unexpected behavior for end users, such as all the custom patching that Debian does, that pretty much break all the tooling we have for packaging. Because of this it is kind of like internal secret within the more advanced and experience users that instead of installing Python via the operating system on Linux they should just use tools such as pyenv or asdf. This however it’s nowhere documented on [python.org](http://python.org) and create a behavior that differs between the other operating systems. I’ve opened this thread to start the discussion on doing something like this would it be possible and iron out any kind of major blockers in achieving something like this. Majority of the users at the summit expressed a strong interest in providing an installer that is distribution independent and available on [python.org](http://python.org). while this might not be there easiest I think it would provide real value for people starting to use python especially. --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.python.org/t/publish-linux-installer-on-python-org/53760)._
