I've been messing around with Eggs a bit recently. They won't really help you in the way that py2app or py2exe (ie you won't be able to create a standalone linux exe from it). Eggs will will a person who has easy_install installed automagically get the dependencies installed. (I understand the need to have a linux binary, at my work I'm currently including all deps with my app (but they are all pure python so it's easier) and going the py2exe for windows). I recall there being a "freeze" utility that was supposed to create standalone linux and windows python binaries, but admit that I haven't tried it. Good luck packaging your app :) matt http://panela.blog-city.com/ _______________________________________________ Ldsoss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ldsoss.org/mailman/listinfo/ldsoss
