[python-win32] Creating distributable packages/installers from python code for the windows platform

[Jacob Kruger]

Could very well be, but, for example, did now manage to get an installer 
sorted out using null soft NSIS scripting, and, it works fine, so, 
there's still something going wrong during inno setup's process, since 
am using the exact same .exe I compiled using pyInstaller.


Will try experimenting a bit more with otehr code collections, etc. as well.
