The way of installing mod_wsgi using a setup.py file using 'python' directly, or 'pip', will not be back ported to mod_wsgi 3.X as there is no point when there is a newer version of mod_wsgi available. This style of installation will likely not make its way to Windows either, or not soon. Even if it does, mod_wsgi-express would not be available on Windows.
If your concern is the lack of mod_wsgi version 4.X for Windows then I wouldn't be overly concerned as you aren't missing out on much by only having mod_wsgi 3.5 binaries being available for Windows at this point because the majority of changes in 4.X relate to mod_wsgi daemon mode and mod_wsgi-express and so aren't relevant to Windows. As to what is stopping there being binaries available for Windows for mod_wsgi 4.X, it is purely the lack of updated makefiles for the Windows platforms. I don't run a Windows machine any more and can't verify any changes I might make to the makefiles. The mod_wsgi code itself still should support Windows, although with no ability to compile it on Windows myself, there is a greater chance I could be breaking things for Windows as I refactor the code and improve it. That is not intentional though. The current makefiles for the Windows platform are currently in: * https://github.com/GrahamDumpleton/mod_wsgi/tree/develop/win32 The following needs to happen for these to be brought up to date. * Compensate for the fact that the makefiles are now in a sub directory and not the parent directory of the source code. Any path names to source code files need to be changed. * Compensate for the fact that the source code files themselves are now located in the src/server subdirectory and instead of there being only one source code file, there are now many. All these source code files have to be enumerated in the makefiles and any extra build targets created appropriately. * Versions of the makefiles added for Python 3.3 and 3.4 (that for Python 3.1 can be removed). The paths for the required Microsoft C compiler for those Python versions need to be set appropriately. * Versions of the makefiles added for Apache 2.4. As I don't have Windows, what would be great is someone who could come up with the changes. Even better, provide a Python script which can be used to automatically generate the makefiles. This would be preferred as I am continually splitting out the code into more files to make it easier to work on. It would be good if I had a way of regenerating the makefiles based on what is found in the src/server directory, rather than me having to update them by hand. So what is the underlying reason as to why you asked your original question.
