Sure, I didn’t intend to claim that. It’s just a hassle for me to compile my own C code, which I’d have to do if binaries weren’t bundled. That’s why anaconda python took off on windows - it’s hard work to compile scipy on windows!

pypi delivers wheel files for pre-built binaries, and that's the only way one is supposed to distribute pre-built binary executables or shared libraries. the issue of "runs malicious code in setup.py" does not apply in that case because setup.py isn't invoked.
