The package developer takes the time to build a wheel on Windows (presumably they are already testing on Windows...?) and publishes it. Problem solved. Most of our efforts are (or should be) aimed at making it easier for the developers to do this, rather than trying to make a seamless build toolchain for the end user. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4709> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
