Version 4a4 of Installer for Windows is available here: http://www.mcmillan-inc.com/installer_dnld.html The major new feature of this release is a MakeCOMServer utility for easy wrapping of COM servers written using Mark Hammond's COM support. There's also a new facility for hooking modules at analysis time, so hidden dependencies can be automatically included. This version also fixes some bugs: - pathprefix is handled properly - package __path__ is respected during analysis - intermediate build files are cleaned up - Freeze finally deletes all it's files on exit - no more trouble with pywintypes What is it? The Installer is a set of tools for distributing Python applications. The target machines do not need to have Python installed, or may have a different version of Python installed. No compiler required on the build machine. There are top level scripts for 3 configurations: - Standalone: create a single directory installation for your app - Simple: wraps a Standalone with a simple install script - Freeze: creates an executable that unpacks itself at run time, and cleans up afterward. More complex distributions can be created by writing your own config file and passing it to Builder. Old-Python-style license.
