The Gramps "software bundle" for Windows or GrampsAIO is an all-in-one (a.k.a. "AIO") installation package of Gramps which includes all dependencies for the Windows platform.

GrampsAIO-4.2.4+

An AIO (All-In-One) Gramps bundle built with cxfreeze. Based on the 5th generation of Gramps which uses Gtk3 with PyGobject and GObject Introspection.

What is cx_freeze? It is a tool used to convert a multitude of interconnected Python language programs (scripts) into an executable (application or app). That makes the executable and its libraries become less sensitive to which versions of Python and Python object modules are installed at a system-wide level. While the executable cannot be updated as easily as the separate Python programs, the extra stability can make an executable more predictable and easier to support remotely.

Gramps only supports Python3 as of the 4.2 version in 2015. Python2 is considered obsolete and is no longer tested for compatibility.

GrampsAIO32

Release made for 32bit version of Windows.

GrampsAIO64

Release made for 64bit version of Windows.
