Normally my preferred approach is, that somebody wanting to use any library, that I wrote) can install all dependencies by: - Installing Python - installing easy_install (and pip) and be able to install all the rest with easy_install Using a library, that forces users to have to install MS-VC or mingw or to install binaries from non-pypy sites is something I try to avoid. My next preferred approach would be to bundle such dependencies by myself, but this would involve to check all the legal stuff of each library to see whether this is possible or not, etc . . . Apart from that I consider the existence of Windows binary packages as kind of an indicator of the health/popularity of a package and whether it has been used sufficiently under Windows to be considered working well under Windows. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I'm reasonably sure all I did was "pip install paramiko". On the other hand, it may have built it from source during the install. Generally, I just let pip do it's magic and don't worry about the details. If you're in an environment where you don't have the compiler tool chain, you may be more constrained. > Is fabric capable of performing scp / sftp Fabric uses ssh to make connections, and it is capable of copying files. For all intents and purposes, I'd say that means it is capable of "performing scp / sftp" (both of which are just front-ends to the same basic ssh protocol.
