PS I'm willing to accept that Python is a low bar (though it is yet another widget to install for Microsoftys). But it's got to work 😉
The python installation process is at least a lot easier than to install Boost, and it [the installer] does what we dummies softies are used to: download, run installer, click yes until it stops nagging and then wait. We softies handle that relatively well, as that's the process with all [the majority at least] installs. We are blissfully unaware of dependencies or crt's, though. Ah wait, that [to have awareness] is not necessary by design. Ah well.
True, but you're going to need (most of) boost anyway. I've just put up a circle-ci job for Boost.Config that runs the current inspect program over the library. It also re-builds the docs first, so I get a check that documentation change PR's will a) build and b) won't cause inspect regressions. It runs really quick too - total time including downloading prerequisites is about 5 minutes. See https://circleci.com/gh/boostorg/config/12 And the yml is here: https://github.com/boostorg/config/blob/develop/.circleci/config.yml Of course if the python version is in some way better, I'll happily just switch over.
