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

[Rob Boehne]

I would also love pip to be the preferred method of installation.  Currently using python 2.7 with scons-2.5.1, I use pip for everything in my virtual environment setup except for scons, which won’t install via pip on every platform.  IIRC, I asked about this a while back and was told that setup.py was the only supported method.  So for scons, I have a source tree that I run setup.py install from.  It’d be really nice to ditch that and do everything the same way.

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
