Yes\"\n  - WinPythondot  being enough to build a WinPython...","author":{"url":"https://github.com/stonebig","@type":"Person","name":"stonebig"},"datePublished":"2024-12-24T18:57:48.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":30},"url":"https://github.com/1431/winpython/issues/1431"}
