A shorter time commitment is to download pip and run the tests on Windows and report problems, as it's unfortunately quite possible we've introduced Windows regressions.
I did a bit of work on getting pip tests running under Windows last spring, but didn't get very far. There were many test failures, most of them seemingly superficial: posix-specific assumptions about file locations and path separators in the tests themselves, not necessarily broken functionality in pip (though it's hard to say for sure with broken tests). Fixing those issues isn't hard, just tedious. I don't know what deeper issues or regressions might be uncovered once the tests run.
Probably some of those issues could also be fixed in ScriptTest, instead of making the pip tests tediously platform abstracted (e.g., normalizing \ vs /). -- Ian Bicking | http://blog.ianbicking.org | http://topplabs.org/civichacker
