My introduction to Python (a long time ago) and "batteries included" was going to some random guys website to download all the compiled packages I needed. Thanks Christoph!

Yes, most people using Python on Windows have encountered Christoph Gohlke's massive unofficial win32/64 Python wheel site at one point or another.

Not sure why the power-that-be don't just make that the official wheel site for Windows binaries.

JS peasant here, I have not touched python recently but had to run a .py script to automate a task with FB website, sure enough had to download a couple of things from this person's website.
