Kudos to Tarek, Éric and others for taking this particular world on their shoulders and re-energizing the discussion and development work to date, but it seems the net needs to be spread even wider to ensure that all constituencies are represented (for example, features needed only on Windows, such as binary distributions and executable scripts, have lagged a little bit behind).

But what makes you think that redesigning everything would make those Windows features magically available?

This isn't about "representing" "constitutencies". python-dev is not a bureaucracy, it needs people doing actual work. People could have proposed patches for these features and they didn't do it (AFAIK).

Like WSGI2 and other similar things, this is the kind of discussion that will peter out in a few weeks and fall into oblivion.

Antoine.
