I agree also. That's two different use cases but both approach could
help. 
I already discussed with Stasz (from childsplay) about the opportunity
to rewrite in python the gcompris core so that we could provide a 100%
python gcompris with the boards in python. These board could be provided
for windows as well without effort. But let's not dream, this is a lot
of work.

I don't see your point here. What's the issue and what do you mean by
"that compil and install from itself". What to you put in this.
