I personally find it more convenient to install binaries than from
source.
Why?
1. Not having to deal build errors (due to missing libs or corrupt lib
installations)
2. Not having to have a compiler suite installed (VS, xcode)
3. Installing binaries take less time than for source (which you have to
compile)
4. Support for binary repositories (eg: pypm.activestate.com) where you
can put custom builds (eg: launchpad repos)
Point (1) and (2) are very important for Windows.
