[python-win32] Distributing a Python app using MSI

[Emlyn Jones]

Hello,
This maybe better suited to the Distutils-SIG, but for now I'll try it here.
I'm just wondering if anybody on this list has ever used the msilib functions 
used to build the Python installer to build an MSI installer for their own 
Python application. Sort of like distutils but to install scripts into a user 
specified folder as well as modules into .../site-packages.
It looks like I could hack the msi.py script used to build the Python 
installation but I wondered if anybody could point me towards a hello world 
type example, I'm not really up to speed on the finer details of MSI.
Google'n around it looks like I will have to install the extension modules 
using distutils and then my application using some other method. I'd like to 
install the whole lot (including dependencies if necessary; Stuff like 
fpconst) using MSI.
If I'm being silly/missing something shouts will be gratefully heard.

Cheers,
Emlyn.
P.S. py2exe et. al. are not an option because it's a web application.
