except do a custom install and leave out what you do not want. (Tools? 
tcl/tk/idle?). You can leave out tests, but then you might want that, at

For Python3, python3.dll in in Python3y\DLLs even for all users install.
I believe this is per MS recommendation. So just copy the entire

C-coded modules are in /DLLs. I presume /libs is needed too but I do not 
really know, and I will not experiment.

Just limit your install to what you want and copy everything.
