Hi everyone. I’m glad new release of `igraph 0.8.0` just came and I want to test a new community detection method `igraph_community_leiden()` which was added on this version. On recent news it says _A new release of the Python interface, incorporating all these improvements is expected to be released in a few weeks_. Fortunately, it came on 8th of February on PyPi but unfortunately, I’m a Windows user and I need to download it from [unofficial binaries](https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/) which don’t have 0.8.0 version yet. Are unofficial binaries going to be updated soon? ---

The version on PyPI now includes binaries for Windows. Please try it and let us know if it worked. (The instructions on [https://igraph.org/python/](https://igraph.org/python/), which mention the unofficial binaries, are not yet updated, but I expect they soon will be.) ---

Thanks. I have tested it. It worked like a charm. ---

Unfortunately PyPI’s policy is that it is not allowed to update the metadata of a version once it’s been released, so we’ll have to wait until 0.8.1 to remove the statement about unofficial Windows binaries. ---

Yes, [it’s a work in progress](https://github.com/conda-forge/igraph-feedstock/pull/14). ---

I have now finished the compilation of Windows binaries in `conda` in a separate [PR](https://github.com/conda-forge/igraph-feedstock/pull/15). Once merged it will provide binaries for Windows, but only for VC \>= 14. ---

Windows binaries of `python-igraph` 0.8.0 are also supported in conda, once this [PR](https://github.com/conda-forge/python-igraph-feedstock/pull/20) gets merged.
