But that list is for *programs*, not *libraries*. I'd understand a wish that a Python app (that also depends on twenty other Python libraries) be bundled as a single Windows installer (that contains all those twenty libraries inside) for an easy next->next->next->finish installation. I don't understand a desire of downloading twenty .exe files and clicking on them all to get an app running. Did I misunderstand something?
