WinPython is a portable distribution of the Python programming
language for Windows (https://winpython.github.io).
This is the winpython Python package, not the distribution itself.
It includes two main features:
WinPython Package Manager (WPPM)
a complementary tool to navigate provided packages, install packages from included Wheelhouse, or register WinPython.
pip is the recommanded way to add or remove packages
WinPython build toolchain
make.py is the script used to
build a WinPython distribution from (almost) scratch.
From the source package (see section ‘Building dependencies’), you may
install WinPython using the following commands:
python -m pip install flit
python -m flit build
python -m pip install --no-index --trusted-host=None --find-links=.\dist winpython
But the easiest way to install the last stable release of WinPython is
by using an executable installer: https://winpython.github.io/
