Mostly for this but also for more general interest, I'd like a pure-Python cab file creator and extractor. If anyone knows of such a thing, I'm all ears. My admittedly brief scour of Google did not turn anything up. The BuildPackages system uses the Python msilib module, but that does not come with all Python distributions, notably the Cygwin version of Python 2.5.

A multiple selection ListBox shows their names and versions. Select the ones desired and press Enter. The files in a .wepm archive are replaced with Files having the same names that are found on disk. The script uses a custom utility created with Python, CabIt.exe, as well as a batch file, UnCabIt.bat, which calls the free 7z.exe utility, available from http://7zip.com These tools are installed in the user script folder and may also be used independently of this script to create or extract archives in Windows CAB format (which include .wepm files). The syntax is CabIt CabArchive SourceDirectory builds a new CabArchive from all files in SourceDirectory UnCabIt CabArchive TargetDirectory extracts all files from CabArchive to TargetDirectory If the Jump to Item script is running, you can jump to a package based on text it contains. You can also select all or unselect all packages in the list. This global script requires GW Toolkit and Homer Shared Object.
