Hi, I use WinPython for teaching robotics for my students. WinPython is a portable and easy tool for scientific teaching. Thanks for your work.

When I try to use a python package called robotics-toolbox-python, I meet an issue that, when I try to install robotics-toolbox-python, I have to install its dependencies package such as quadprog, while this need Visual C++ compiler command line tool to be installed in my OS. While to install the Visual C++ compiler, one needs to download about 2G bytes size files, and have 4G bytes disk space installed. This is not a simple task as we have to ask every students who use WinPython to build the quadprog and its parent qpsolvers packages.

I have reported in the following issue:
Is it possible to build a whl package which contains all the pyd/dll files · Issue #207 · petercorke/robotics-toolbox-python

It looks like some other Python suite, such as conda doesn't have such issue because it already quadprog package pre-installed.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
