"Stanley A. Klein"
IMHO, the main system without a package manager is Windows.
AFAICT the MacOS platform also lacks in this area.
A reasonable way to deal with Windows would be to create a package manager for it that could be used by Python and anyone else who wanted to use it. [...] This is primarily a Windows problem, not a Python problem.
I'd rephrase this as: If you *must* re-invent package management for those legacy systems without it, please *don't* make it specific to Python. -- \ “The right to search for truth implies also a duty; one must | `\ not conceal any part of what one has recognized to be true.” | _o__) —Albert Einstein | Ben Finney
