Questions concerning pip:

There isn't a timeline, as we don't have anyone actively contributing with respect to Windows.

There isn't really; extras would be nice, but there hasn't been much demand for them. pip requirement files serve a similar purpose though in a somewhat different way.
3.2.0 in my requirements file, because pip is not designed to recursively check the (arbitrarily-named) requirements files of the dependencies I declare in my own requirements file. I have to keep
I brought this up on the virtualenv mailing list once before. Requirements files serve a very different use-case. If I want to define a project extra like foo[traits_qt4] that depends on a project with an extra like traits[qt4] > 3.2.0, I can't just list traits[qt4] track of not only my projects dependencies, but my dependencies dependencies, and on and on.
* I have a bit of time after hours, how can I help?
If you are a Windows developer, Windows help for pip would be great.
I distribute windows installers for a couple projects, but I'm not a windows developer...
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.
This sounds like a good place to start. Regards, Darren
