please make .exe builds available for Windows.

Hi,

Unfortunately, setuptools (and hence pip, virtualenv, buildout, etc) won't consider .msi's as windows distros:

H:\>twisted_env\Scripts\easy_install  http://tmrc.mit.edu/mirror/twisted/Twisted/10.0/Twisted-10.0.0.win32-py2.6.msi Downloading  http://tmrc.mit.edu/mirror/twisted/Twisted/10.0/Twisted-10.0.0.win32-py2.6.msi Processing Twisted-10.0.0.win32-py2.6.msi error: Not a recognized archive type: c:\temp\easy_install-tfym_t\Twisted-10.0.0.win32-py2.6.msi

Doing a bdist_wininst in addition to bdist_msi would make installation for Windows users of these tools much easier.

cheers,

Chris

The Windows msi builders now also build exes. These will be generated alongside the msis for the next release.
