[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor  added the comment:

I closed the 19 open issues which contained "wininst" in their title as "wont 
fix" with the message:

"The distutils bdist_wininst command has been removed in Python 3.10: see 
bpo-42802."

You can simply search for closed issue which contains "wininst" in their title 
if you want to list them.

I created a https://discuss.python.org/t/remove-bdist-wininst-command/6434 
topic to check if anyone wants to keep the command, or if it's ok to remove it 
right now.

Note: bdist_msi is deprecated since Python 3.9 (bpo-39586). I prefer to wait 
for Python 3.11 to remove it:

FYI last year, I fixed setuptools v45.2 (released in February 2020) when

STINNER Victor  added the comment:

There are 19 issues (+ this one) on bdist_wininst. Once distutils bdist_wininst 
command will be removed, I propose to all these issues.

Search for open issues with "bdist_wininst" in the title.

Only bpo-41771 was active recently (3 months ago). The 18 other issues are 
inactive for between 18 months and 121 months (10 years!).

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor :

Attached PR removes it.

The bdist_wininst command was deprecated in Python 3.8:

commit 1da4462765b084dfa8d869b6cb5855e8f6014a11
Author: Victor Stinner 
Date:   Fri Jul 5 10:44:12 2019 +0200

bpo-37481: Deprecate distutils bdist_wininst command (GH-14553)

The distutils bdist_wininst command is now deprecated, use
bdist_wheel (wheel packages) instead.


"What’s New In Python 3.9: Build Changes" also announced:

* On non-Windows platforms, creating ``bdist_wininst`` installers is now
  officially unsupported.  (See :issue:`10945` for more details.)
