Maybe someone has confused me. I understood that easy_install can consume bdist_wininst format .exe files just as easily as .egg format, and easy_install will do your dependency management for you.
That's exactly the case, you are not wrong. $ easy_install your_bdist_wininst_dist.exe will install it and process the dependencies from the install_requires option. And pip should be compatible soon too. That makes this format a perfect binary format for win32. Regards Tarek
