[Scons-users] No more windows installers? (Pip/tar/zip going forward)

[Barry Bond]

To work around the “error: option --single-version-externally-managed not recognized”, use this:
                pip install --egg scons

I've been using the 64bit Windows installers. pip does not seem to work for me at the moment, if it did it would be an acceptable alternative.

I've been avoiding setup.py installs, because it is more tedious and puts scons.bat in a different location than the installers do (C:\Python27 versus C:\Python27\Scripts), causing problems when installing multiple versions of scons and mixing the two conventions.

 Is this pip error a known problem?

For me, the pip wheel was a welcome improvement.  I use pip to install almost all of our Windows/Python toolchain, so when SCons moved into a wheel, it made me happy that I could get rid of another special case.

Greetings,
Any strong opinions on keeping the windows installers?
pip install should work on any platform going forward.
Also the zip file and be python setup.py install'd
