Release 5 of the McMillan Installer is here: http://www.mcmillan-inc.com/install5_ann.html Release 5 is a rewrite of the analysis and building code from earlier releasess. The result is much smaller, faster and more capable. Major changes include: - Instead of using an ini-file configuration (with a host of confusing options), Release 5 uses Python syntax specification files. - An extensible hooks mechanism for modules / packages that use import hacks. - Ability to run on non-ELF platforms (should run on most Unix systems, although I have not been able to test much of this). - Linux users get full binary dependency analysis (so you can include a private installation of TCL/TK or wxWindows, for example). - Windows users can now create "frozen" in-process COM servers. - Refactored C code (many thanks to Alan Green) so embedders can make use of Installer's capabilities. There is also an Installer mailling list. Subscribe at: http://trixie.triqs.com/mailman/listinfo/installer Supported systems include: - Windows - Linux - Unix (alpha quality) Supported Python versions: - Python 1.5 to 2.1 (2.2b2 appears to work too). What is it: The Installer package is any easy way to deploy Python apps to systems without Python installed (or with incompatible Pythons installed). License: MIT style.
