Hey Mike, the website mentions that it is possibly to run on windows (with some work) on the homepage:
"bpython is a fancy interface to the Python interpreter for Linux, BSD, OS X and Windows (with some work<http://docs.bpython-interpreter.org/windows.html> )." And links to our docs which mention this way as well: http://docs.bpython-interpreter.org/windows.html For us full windows support would be having binaries and installers and such and having bpython.gtk_ work well (it currently segfaults due to some known bugs). However, none of the regular contributors have any experience with windows packaging, windows bugs or such and don't really have the time to invest in that either. That's the main reason why we don't officially support windows yet, no contributors and not enough knowledge. However I do think we don't shoo away users anymore but do point them to how to do it for now until we get the windows side of things rolling if we can find a contributor to do it.
