We should be digitally signing these to help ensure that they will not be blocked on machines with strict execution policies. This applies to all of the Windows binaries that we build (and therefore could sign with our certificate). That includes:

  • Kallichore
  • Python Environment Tool (PET)

Compare with e.g. Node.js:
