Most changes to Python require a NEWS entry. Add one using the blurb_it web app or the blurb command-line tool.

If this change has little impact on Python users, wait for a maintainer to apply the skip news label instead.

This needs an issue, a news entry and an explanation of why this is needed.

This is not at all the filtering that was intended by the comment.

In PROPS_TEMPLATE you'll see XML elements for _PythonRuntimeExe and _PythonRuntimeDlls, some of which don't need to be included at all if the package doesn't include those files. Though the only really relevant ones are python*.exe and python*.dll for the cases where someone chooses to build a package that doesn't include Python itself (which would be weird).

So this is unnecessary, and probably marking the comment "TODO" is too attractive for contributions when really it should just say "We don't filter based on contents, so if you expected it, that's why" to help out anyone who comes looking at the code to figure out why their weird incantation isn't working.

A Python core developer has requested some changes be made to your pull request before we can consider merging it. If you could please address their requests along with any other requests in other reviews from core developers that would be appreciated.

Once you have made the requested changes, please leave a comment on this pull request containing the phrase I have made the requested changes; please review again. I will then notify any core developers who have left a review that you're ready for them to take another look at this pull request.

And if you don't make the requested changes, you will be poked with soft cushions!
