Cygwin come with a lot of lib* and lib*-devel that permit to just run `pip install xxx' if not already packaged. I gave a try on the native Windows version and Anaconda but there is at least one package that I could not run (and I loosed a lot of time to compile a bunch of libraries). Example of package: pyproj (proj4), openpyxl with lxml (libxml2, libxslt) and pillow (libjpeg, zlib, libtiff, ...), psycopg2 (libpq). -- Benoit Izac -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
