which then forces the work onto every other person who might install it, if they are on a different architecture or system it even gets worse if you add in that they may need to figure out how to get a C compiler installed and available (if a bdist/wheel isn't available because the developer couldn't figure out how to generate one). for a novice user who just wants to get something done this isn't a very good solution. a build farm for common architectures would help a lot of developers avoid all this thrashing. songbird -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
