I'm impressed that it works, and *is* quick and easy when it works, but I'm
not comfortable with the cavalier attitude. Not checking to see if the
install destination exists and issuing at least a warning if not a full out
and out "overwrite?" prompt doesn't sit well.

I think it's still there but you've been upgraded to x64, and any existing
extra packages may have to be reinstalled. Probably cleanest to remove
(from Windows Control Panel) and install again manually. One could "choco
install Python.x86" but there doesn't seem to be an x86 pyqt4 package; but
maybe that isn't needed anyway(?)

Those folders are sparse, look to be mostly just saying "this is installed".


To sum: in my opinion Chocolatey is a viable method for experimentalists,
but I wouldn't bless it as a recommended install method.

However, since it *is *eminently scriptable, we can use it to quickly and
easily build a portable grab-and-run package with each new Leo
release/milestone. The package could be blessed.
