That makes this format a > perfect binary format for win32. I'm not sure about that Tarek.. An .exe installer as a perfect binary format for python packages? Are you serious? That is the biggest security threat I can think of, asking python users to run unverified, unsigned, un-trusted executable files on their systems. No Tarek, don't dictate that untrusted .exe files present no security threat to windows users. In this case, there *couldn't be* a bigger security threat than untrusted, unverified executables.
