q as a Python package / Installation using pip #181

I really like this tool, it simply awesome! I just wonder why you don't provide it as a Python package so pip may be used to manage the installation. It's pretty standard, multiplatform, convenient.

I would definitely prefer it over the Windows installer. That's good only for people not having Python already installed.

thanks for the kind words :)

i always wanted to, but haven't got to it. It would require adding a python package to the current installation formats, since there are many people relying on it in Windows platforms as well (30% percent of users are on windows).

I'll take another look at it

@harelba it should be straightforward to do Python package, since it is implemented in pure Python and uses standard libraries, so that should not be a problem on Windows.

It would be useful if this would work on windows under msys2..
