Hi, I discovered that Python setuptools includes pre-compiled .exe files. First I thought, these can be savely removed from the source. But when I researched on this, I found [1] saying: " These installers can even be created on Unix platforms or Mac OS X."
This means, these .exe files have to be included in our distribution, too. (One may still need to ask the Python developers, resp. the setuptools developers whether this is true and how this is supposed to work.) Normally we remove all pre-compliled stuff, don't we? So how should we handle this case? We would need to cross-build these .exe files., which are available for x86, amd64 and arm.
