    bpo-10945: Drop support for bdist_wininst on non-Windows systems (GH-14506) · 72cd653c
    Miro Hrončok authored
    bdist_wininst depends on MBCS codec, unavailable on non-Windows,
    and bdist_wininst have not worked since at least Python 3.2, possibly
    never on Python 3.
    
    Here we document that bdist_wininst is only supported on Windows,
    and we mark it unsupported otherwise to skip tests.
    
    Distributors of Python 3 can now safely drop the bdist_wininst .exe files
    without the need to skip bdist_wininst related tests.
