That’s the difficulty: How to make the Add/Remove program aware of many Pythons and venvs?

The current gist of the discussion seems to point to a world where people continue to release an sdist for capable OSes and also publish one bdist_simple with .pyd for one Windows version and one bdist_simple with .so for one Mac OS X version (but possible many arches). (And given that it’s possible to have one setup.cfg and one setup.py coexisting, maybe eggs will be offered for a while too.)
