there is no MS windows installer for python 2.6.
Do you have an idea of when that might be available?
No, it'll likely be a while before I'm doing anything with 2.6. Ian Bicking
now has privs for the setuptools PyPI entry, so perhaps he could upload one.
(There actually isn't anything Windows-specific about it; all the .exe
installers that I upload are actually built on a Linux machine.)
This is a really frustrating aspect of setuptools, that pure-Python
packages produce version-specific installers. I'm sure I've seen an
explanation of why this is necessary somewhere before, but I can't
recall precisely where (and I don't really have time to wade through
all the setuptools documentation to see if it's in there - it wasn't
obvious from reading the contents). Can anyone give me a quick pointer
to the explanation?
.pyc files are minor-version-specific. Eggs contain .pyc files.
