Python bindings for Windows

[David T.]

Christian--

I think characterizing the omission of Python under Windows as "laziness" is unfair to the developers (especially Geert, who does most of this work). My understanding about why the Windows and Mac builds skip installing Python is that these OSes do not consistently provide Python to users. Including it by default in GnuCash for these platforms would require GnuCash to include Python in the distribution, with concomitant file size problems and requiring GnuCash to keep an updated Python.

As a user under Mac, I am unhappy about this, but I understand the reasoning.
