This is really cool!

Would you like me to make a conda package for this? I can do so for Linux and OSX so that someone who uses python for data science can do `conda install aeneas` and it will install this and it's dependencies into a virtualenv.

I'd do it on windows too, but I don't know of an easy way to get my hands on a windows box. If anyone knows of a service that can give me 30 minutes of CLI access to a windows box, I'd be grateful.

AppVeyor has free Windows CI for open-source projects (which probably would be a good idea to set up for later updates), and they explicitly mention that you can install remote access tools in their build VMs to work on/debug the build: https://www.appveyor.com/docs/how-to/rdp-to-build-worker/
Hi, thank you.

Having it on conda would be great (https://github.com/readbeyond/aeneas/issues/158 ), so if you feel like it, it would be wonderful!

The two points that proved difficult in packaging aeneas (as self-installers and as .deb for Ubuntu/Debian) are:

1. the package must also install/require-as-dep ffmpeg and espeak 2. the package must trigger the compilation of the Python C extensions as described in setup.py

Unfortunately I am a Debian/OS X user (I do not even own a Windows machine right now), but I am told that one can use the Win10 IE VirtualBox images.
