Check that python setup.py install works on windows

Especially the bit where it copies the extractor. To make distro packages easier we might not want to actually install this anyway.

According to this mail, it doesn't:

Not installing the extractor when running install on abzsubmit sounds like a good option.
On (Arch) Linux I just remove that part from setup.py with sed. For Windows and Mac providing a package with "embedded" extractor and libs is possibly the better choice.

For isrcsubmit I do some packaging for Windows and Mac:

I just fetch the dependencies (in binary form) with wget, put them at appropriate places and zip it up.

Yeah, my plan for windows was going to be an "all in one installer". We're
closer to this now that we bundle requests.

The last mail in that ML dialog indicates the workaround (without installing) works:

So copying having streaming_extractor_music.exe in the same directory as abzsubmit and then calling
python abzsubmit <directory> works (if python is in PATH).

Making an abzsubmit zip with streaming_extractor_music already in place would be a step forward right now for people to test things.
