John Machin <sjmac...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: The 2.6.1 documentation consists of a *single* line: "distutils.command.bdist_msi — Build a Microsoft Installer binary package". AFAICT this is the *only* mention of "msi" in the docs (outside the msilib module). I heard about it only by word-of-mouth. Docs should explain why a packager might want to use it instead of wininst, and why the output msi is specific to the creating version of python.
