[Scons-users] Can we drop windows native installers if pip install works?

[Jason Kenny]

I don’t think it will be hard to fix the pip install issue. A given we change SCons to install like a normal python app. Even then using the msi builder vs the exe builder makes a big difference as well. I have been slacking ( well busy on different fronts) so I have not finished the work on the pip installer. I will try to get a pip file finished soon.

In my opinion, installers has for a long time been the "windows way" to do it. And I think if I found out today that something didn't provide an installer, I'd expect the windows support to be poor, which is really not the case.

But I might be too old school. Todays windows has apps and an app store. It even has nuget and chocolatey. Modern windows users might be more ready for this than I think.

Greetings,
Assuming we can resolve issues with pip install, can we drop the windows (32 & 64bit) native installers?

Thoughts.
