Python itself is fine, but a lot of third-party packages are hard to
obtain. So if you need numpy, for instance, or psycopg2, you might
need to find an alternative source.
I've noticed a big change in the last few years in that PyPi has many,
many amd-64 packages than it used to in the heyday of Christoph Gohlke's
efforts. I haven't needed to go there for some time whereas I used to
need to all the time. So if I "need numpy, for instance, or psycopg2"
for Windows, I get them from PyPi.
Yes, I know that some projects haven't caught up to Python 3.11x yet.
And I'm glad I haven't needed to create a binary wheel for Windows
myself. But the situation is way better than it used to be. I've had
more trouble with Python and Python packages on Linux than on Windows.
