Compilation can be a problem on Linux systems as well, so a platform neutral format is a better idea. Just have a mechanism that allows pysetup to create a bdist_msi from a bdist_simple. Similar, bdist_rpm and bdist_deb plugins could be taught to interpret bdist_simple. However, you do get into architecture problems (x86 vs x86_64 vs ARM) if you go that route.
