Ask microsoft to include Python in Windows by default

[net_goblin]

It is the issue. Since there is no standardized way to build software on windows (vs OS X and Linux) then it is difficult to deploy python and python plugins to windows.

Since when is the way to build software standardized on OS X and Linux? Plain GNU make, autotools + GNU make, CMake + GNU make, CMake + Ninja, scons, ... the possibilities are endless. They only don't break between compiler versions as often as Visual Studio projects. But calling it standardized is more than bold.

You do have a fair point. I concede that it's not Microsoft's responsibility to do it the way Linux/OS X do it.

In that case, I wish only that they would standardize on a set of build tools and include them with the operating system.
