I have a customer who has many (Windows) computers on which Python and related packages must be installed/updated on regular bases.
One of their concerns is wininst based packages, which do not allow unattended installation. Newer and greater MSI helps, but there are legacy packages. Can you give me opinion: 1) Why pywin32 (Mark Hammond) is continued to be distributed in wininst form? 2) If one prepares MSI package, are there foreseeable snags to distribute it in 2.4 environment? 3) I offered to consider development of wininst to msi (ready package) converter. Is it stupid suggestion, or is it feasable (and easier than silencing of wininst)? Would there be interest for such converter (my customer is willing to contribute to Python project)? Thank you!
