I wonder what our story is for the pip, virtualenv, setuptools packaging setup on Windows.
At the moment, the only way to get this setup seems to be following guides such as these: http://www.tylerbutler.com/2012/05/how-to-install-python-pip-and-virtualenv-on-windows-with-powershell/ But that's not really how Windows users expect things to work. They want to click on an installer, preferably a MSI one, since that integrates well with managed corporate Windows environments, and then expect everything to just work. Much in the same way they install Python itself. Is there anything planned in this area ? Hint: If someone were to send in a grant request to build such an installer for Windows, I'm sure the PSF board would love to fund work such work. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Jul 07 2014) >>> Python Projects, Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope/Plone.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ 2014-07-21: EuroPython 2014, Berlin, Germany ... 14 days to go ::::: Try our mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
