It may not be necessary to provide a package for it in cygwin. Instead, users may install the pure python package from PYPI https://pypi.org/ using pip or another python package manager.

Installing using pip or similar is an option for the vast majority of packages that are available through the Cygwin installer; by that logic it wouldn't make sense to provide most of the Python packages we provide. Which wouldn't be an invalid strategy, but it would be a very big change in how we handle things! I think the advantage of using the Cygwin packages is a better likelihood of packages actually being compatible with Cygwin, rather than having some weird and unpredictable package dependency issue. A pure Python xlsx2csv is very unlikely to be affected by that sort of issue, but providing it as a Cygwin package means users shouldn't need to even think about whether the package is a pure Python package or not. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

I agree with Adam. I would have no problem to release the python package no if not for the problem to the laptop I guess one month from now I will be able to be operative again (assuming the target supplier of the laptop https://frame.work/ will not have delivery problem) Regards Marco ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

So, anyopne packaging the Python PIP version, please go ahead and remove the current package. Jari ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

Hi Jari, So no issue if I adopt and package with cygport? It's a utility I use around tax time and sometimes elsewhen. -- Take care.
