Did you think I was suggesting that you write a GUI version of
java2python? Please carefully (re)?read the documentation link that I
gave you. The idea is that with a simple variation of your setup.py
build comamnd, you create a Windows installer for your existing
package, and make it available for download. Then, all the Windows
user has to do is to double-click on it, and it guides them through
the installation. This would save wear'n'tear on you having to try to
explain to some newbie Windows user how to install your package.
