"Compilation can be hard on Windows" is no longer a factor that is taken into account when deciding whether or not to add things to the standard library
Where is the pronouncement or discussion on that point?
- we're taking other steps to deal with that problem as part of the packaging toolchain, and one of the key ones is allowing publication of binary wheels for Mac OS X and Windows on PyPI.
I don't see how that changes anything. The hard (or, at least, tedious) part is not publishing packages, it's building the packages in the first place. "setup.py upload" has always worked fine. Regards Antoine.
