Consider adding MSYS tools/shell #67

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Some projects depend on MSYS (or a proper shell) to be built correctly, and 
adding MSYS to this distribution could help it to become even more useful. I 
know your intention is not to distribute a complete development environment for 
C/C++/Fortran but for Python, but adding MSYS would enable us to do better 
shell scripting and building software that depend on this kind of environment.

This sounds awfully out of scope for a scientific Python distribution...

All scientific Python distributions I have used before (Canopy, PythonXY, 
Anaconda) include a C/C++/Fortran build environment. You are probably not aware 
that many scientific libraries written in Python (include here things such as 
Numpy, Scipy, scikit-learn) use a lot of native code wrapped by 
Cython/SWIG/ctypes.
