 > as mentioned at other places, there is no system wide python in windows
 at all.  users has to do the install for themself, also all the packages

 Right. Python installed ahead which is on path, registry or whatever is
 appropriate - that's what I mean by system Python.

 reason for doing it there is the same as for the standalone version.
 OSGeo4W doesn't contain all the packages available through pip and it
 doesn't contain pip.

 Good approach. I guess this ticket would still apply standalone installer?

 > There are already some starting efforts regarding pip etc.

 Do you have some more info about it? Only thing I know is not really
 encouraging: [https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/osgeo4w-
 dev/2015-November/002965.html my question regarding pip from September
 2015] and [https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/osgeo4w-
 dev/2015-September/002957.html answer to it from November].

 Even if we ignore the issue that user have to remember to install every
 package twice (I guess common on MS Windows), this still doesn't solve the
 issue of using the same Python from a Python editor and GRASS or using
 GRASS and ArcGIS together (both being a common request).
