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

[Bill Deegan]

Rob,

setup.py was the supported way.
I'm trying to move forward to pip install being the preferred way, but of
course setup.py would also be supported for some time.

There are some issues with the setup.py which break pip on occasion, we
should weed those out going forward.
(Of course any help here is most welcome)
