I don't even know the right way to put my question but i will try my best. I downloaded (Python-3.4.2.tar) the source code of a python interpreter from www.python.org I extracted the files(using 7-zip). Now lets say i latter want to use the unziped/extracted fies to create an installer i.e put it in a form that i can double click and Python-3.4.2 will be installed in my computer. i guess it is called creating a build distriution. I know i can just download Python-3.4.2.exe from the site and install right away but i want to know how it goes from being source code to becoming something one can install.
