Because it's trivially easy under Unix? Three commands:
./configure
make
make install
will generally do the job. Unless it doesn't work, in which case it's a
world of pain. But that's no different from Windows, except that somebody
else has already worked through the pain for you.
Precisely my point. I suspect being a Python core dev must do wonders
for the moral fibre. Your pristine, fully reviewed patch improves
performance by 10,000% and works wonderfully except on buildbot xyz and
has to be reverted. How do they do it?
