Will the python you distribute for windows be bare bones (without header files like the current version) ?
I had assumed so, though if someone cares enough to champion the effort, that could be changed. Right now, the windows distribution is really geared toward the crowd that really doesn't know and doesn't care about Python distributions, etc. It is intended to "just work" in a way that doesn't require the user to know anything and that doesn't interfere with any other Python things that may or may not be on their system. The downside, of course, is that we currently don't have an easy way (at least not as easy as the no-brainer dist) for people who do know and do care about Python installations to set things up to work with their current Python. I'd be happy to support someone in the effort of fixing this, though I can't commit to getting it done myself. Someone with enough knowledge about how Python windows installs work and a rudimentary knowledge of WISE should be able to work it out so that the win32 distribution is willing to let you pick which Python to use if it sniffs one (or more) out on the target system.
