Overview
--------

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.

Dependencies
------------   

* Python3 >= 3.10


Requirements
------------

* installer can be 7-Zip or nothing (just .zip-it)


Installation
------------
    
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/
