The Windows 10 laptop I brought home as the pandemic lockdown began is chock-full of Python scripts, many of them written last year. An old cheap netbook running I know not what--Windows 7?--is what I used to set up a small Django system my wife requested back in 2019.

What changed in 2021? I've been doing python on WSL since about 2018.

I liked the piece but it barely mentions Python. I wasn’t sure what has improved recently but wsl, which is sort of a side story.

Author here. Thanks for the feedback.

The Python bit mostly lives in the "Python - It Takes a Cast of Thousands to Raise a Platform" section, but your point is well taken.

What kind of Windows Python specific content would you like to have seen? I wrote the article from my personal perspective of having found Python development on Windows painful a number of years back and so chose to focus more on the improvements that removed those barriers to productivity.
