Depends on the version: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Services_for_UNIX Unfortunately that's no longer available for modern Windows. But it's not the only option either: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX#POSIX_for_Windows > If ‘pip’ does not honour that field and inform you of the > incompatibility, you may want to report a bug to the ‘pip’ developers. Linux and FreeBSD are also not POSIX-certified, even though they mostly comply. Should pip warn about those also? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
