Is it really such a hassle to install things on Windows?
no, but it *IS* to explain it to dumb users... :-(
Can’t you create an installation package that specifies Python and all the
other necessary dependencies, so the Windows package-management system will
automatically pull the right versions in when the user does the
installation?
At first, on reading this, I assumed it was sarcastic (and sort of
decided not to reply, because anti-windows is too easy); but on reading
again I'm not so sure, you're writing it all out so .. dry. Then again,
'hearing' tone in text is hard.
If this isn't sarcastic: windows has no package management system. You
include every dependency manually (in varying forms) or things don't run.
Windows has a way to track what you install, and the ability to
uninstall about three fourths of it later. That's it.
