I think what Bart is saying is that the Python developers should provide an amalgamated source file that's pre-configured for Windows, so that someone who wants to compile on Windows doesn't have to deal with all the complexities of the general build system.
While that might be possible, I don't see what how it would be of much use. You're not going to want to edit such a "source" file, so its only use would be to install as-is. But if that's all you want, you might as well use a binary installer. I suppose it would make it easier to experiment with using a different compiler, but even then you're probably going to have to make some changes to the source to get it to work, and hand-editing generated source is neither recommended nor fun. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
