Re: [Visualpython-users] Vpython on PyPi?

[Bruce S. <Bru...@nc...>]

You don't specify a platform, but I'm guessing this would be just for Linux? In 
particular, it's not possible to use distutils for Windows because compilation 
of C++ is required, and most Windows users don't have a compiler installed. For 
that matter, most Windows users don't use a command-line interface.

I would be interested to hear from knowledgeable people whether this would be a 
better scheme for Linux, and possibly for the Mac (though again, many Mac users 
don't use a command-line interface, and there are expectations of what an 
installer should look like).
