Overview

WinPython is a portable distribution of the Python programming language for Windows: https://winpython.github.io

This is the wppm Python package and build toolchain repository, not the distribution itself. It includes two main features:

WinPython Package Manager (WPPM)

a complementary tool to navigate provided packages, install packages from included Wheelhouse, or register WinPython. pip is the recommanded way to add or remove packages otherwise

WinPython build toolchain

generate_a_winpython_distro.bat and make.py are the toolchain used to build a WinPython distribution from (almost) scratch.

WinPython set of Wheel

You can get also the equivalent of the WinPython distribution by using one of the provided pylock.toml or by using provided requirements-with-hash.txt until pip does support pylock.toml files

Dependencies

• Python3 >= 3.10

Requirements

• installer can be 7-Zip or nothing (just .zip-it)

Wppm build

From the source package (see section ‘Building dependencies’), you may build WPPM using the following commands:

python -m pip install flit
python -m flit build

Winpython Distribution wheels installation

To only install the wheels assembled per WinPython Distribution, you may

python -m pip install --no-deps --require-hashes https://github.com/winpython/winpython/releases/download/16.6.20250620final/requir.64-3_13_5_0slim.txt

A pylock file is also available, when you package manager can handle it

https://github.com/winpython/winpython/releases/download/16.6.20250620final/pylock.64-3_13_5_0slim.toml

But the easiest way to install the last stable release of WinPython is by using a zipped distribution with or without auto-extractor: https://winpython.github.io/
