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.

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/
