It's really more of an issue of personnel, as Maciej points out. I
have a contact at Microsoft (through CPython) who is willing to help
us get what we need to support Python on Windows, whether it's tools
or help solving problems on the platform. If you solve the problem of
attracting more Windows developers, I could help facilitate discussion
with Microsoft to get something like Azure setup.
