Hi Abraham,

Unfortunately not yet. I have some build system overhaul changes planned, b=
ut that is still a way off. With that, I am hoping it will be easier to tar=
get compiling against the =91native=92 Python Windows installation, which w=
ill allow what you are wishing for.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Hey, Jeremy!

I was thinking about this lately. Thanks for taking the initiative to make =
this happen. Will the change allow for a more =93native=94 state? Meaning, =
will it make it easier to use external packages, installed via pip or other=
wise? And being able to use other graphics packages (like tcl, wx, etc.) wo=
uld be really nice to do.

Thanks for all you do!

Best,
Abraham
