Isn't this only a packaging issue? There is no change to the Python API 
or implementation, so there is no need to change the version number. So 
just make new Windows packages.

The precedent is to add a dash and a package number. I can't remember 
what version this was applied to before - but I got a +1 from Guido for 
suggesting it :)
