My ideal target (Utopia refined to be achievable) is for python-dev to handle the Python binaries themselves (already done) and to make them easy to bundle with applications/etc (I'm working on this for 3.5), and for PyPI to include pre-built wheels for Windows where necessary.
Note that I don't require package developers to build their own wheels, though I think that they are generally the right people to be doing it. It would be nice to create a culture of delegation, so that "someone" could be a trusted builder for a range of packages
Christoph Gohlke, Laboratory for Fluorescence Dynamics, University of California, Irvine now provides 32 and 64 bit builds for 2.6/7, 3.2/3/4 (10 total) for about 300 'scientific open-source extension packages' an his site. http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ Perhaps the PyPI folks could discuss incorporating wheel versions on PyPI (I have no idea what is involved, but I presume it could be antomated.) -- Terry Jan Reedy
