You can install the package without requiring administrative privileges and, with the latest version of setuptools (when it releases), use tools such as pip, wheel, or a setup.py file to produce binaries on Windows.

From the setuptools changelog, it seems that setuptools 6.0+ should cover this. However, I just got the following error:

This looks suspiciously like http://bugs.python.org/issue7511, which is worrying. Is this not something I should have expected setuptools to have patched?
