Running Python on Wine.

User’s guide

wenv is a Python package (currently in development status 4/beta). It allows to run Python on top of Wine on Linux, MacOS or BSD. It handles required plumbing related to making Python and a number of Python modules work on Wine. wenv creates isolated virtual environments which can be transparently used from a Unix command line and which seamlessly integrate into Unix Python virtual environments.
