i have a problem with the bdist_wininst target for one of my projects.
.....
what do people think about allowing an additional option in the setup.cfg, understood by bdist_wininst (and, more particularly, wininst.exe) that is the name of a script to be run by the selected interpreter after completing the installation?
i could then install a `post_wininst.py' script, add it setup.cfg, and when run from wininst.exe, it could do the post-installation things, and if necessary, even remove itself when done. when the script exits, wininst.exe can splash the final wizard pane, and exit.
comments?
.... sounds excellent, if not already present it should be. I'm told inno et al allow pre and post execution.
