We've tried this before, but apparently people were cross-compiling. I'd suggest not removing them any faster than whatever deprecation applies to the module on all platforms (which should still be as quickly as possible :-) ).

I never tried to build Python in Cygwin or MinGW on Windows. If someone knows these platforms, and consider that wininst-*.exe should still be installed on these platforms, please propose a pull request for bpo-37468. By the way, bdist_wininst is now deprecated in Python 3.8: wheel packages are now preferred. https://bugs.python.org/issue37481 Victor -- Night gathers, and now my watch begins.
