End Of life: Christoph Gohlke, Unofficcial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages
by Massa, Harald Armin 16 Jun '22

16 Jun '22

Hi dear PSF coMembers, Christoph Gohlkes Windows Binaries are nearing end of Life https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ ============================== Updated on 12 June 2022 at 20:19 UTC. *Funding for the Laboratory for Fluorescence Dynamics has ceased. This service will be discontinued before July 2022.* ============================== those packages proved quite valuable for Python on Windows users without C-Compiler (many) or not enough build-knowledge to build their packages (even more) Is there at least a chance of conserving what is there on PSF level? Cheers Harald -- GHUM GmbH Harald Armin Massa Spielberger Straße 49 70435 Stuttgart 0173/9409607 Amtsgericht Stuttgart, HRB 734971 GF: Harald Armin Massa
