Please create a wheel for windows to simplify the deployment and upgrades in windows. The current package options have python embedded and this should not be needed if python is already in the windows machine.

I don't think this would work very well, there are too many libraries, Cython extensions and data files to bundle.

No. The only way to make xpra work with an existing python is using MSYS2 and we already have native packaging for that: #1883.
