The reason is that if they needed to test theirsoftware, they'd also need new builds of the third-party packages theyuse on Windows. But some of these are hard to build and most users don'tknow there are perfectly good free compilers for Windows.If it is easier for Tim/the Pythonlabs folks, why not just (fordevelopment snapshorts) put the Windows binaries in a zipfile that canbe unzipped and will just work? I fail to see why an installer isabsolutely necessary for Windows users.Gerhard-- This sig powered by Python!Außentemperatur in München: 1.6 °C      Wind: 2.5 m/s
