I have 2 questions about using setuptools for a windows installer: 1. I want to make a executable-windows-installer with setuptools (bdist_wininst) . in setup.py I place a dependency: install_requires = ["TurboGears >= 1.0.1",], installation is not zip-safe: zip_safe=False, The target-machine (where I do the install) has easy_install already installed. Am I right that when I install this executable-windows-installer the dependency is not automatically installed? Or is there a way to do this with setuptools that I have overlooked? 2. in distritools it is possible to use a postinstallation script (*--install-script *option). (which I want to use shortcuts in menu's). This is not possible in setuptools? ( I just am not sure about this when reading the documentation. Eggs & setuptols are great; most user are used to windows installers, shortcuts in the menu etc.) best regards, Henk-Jan
