With issue5311 now resolved, bdist_msi can generate a single MSI that can install to any number of Python versions (for pure Python modules). Right now, you can only install or uninstall these MSIs, but it would be nice to also provide a "Change" installation. For example, if you installed a new version of Python, this would allow you to add your already installed pure Python modules to this Python installation by just going to Add/Remove Programs and selecting the feature for the new version. I'll try to make some time to work on this.
