Yes, but this is no different that if you want to keep any library updated over multiple Python versions. And I don't want to invent another installation procedure that works for just this, or have a little script that checks periodically for updates only for this, adding to the plethora of update checkers on windows already. You either keep your Python and it's libraries updated or you do not, I don't think this is any different, and I think it should have the exact same mechanisms and functions as all other third-party PyPI packages.

Agreed. This doesn't warrant special-casing.

Regards

Antoine.
