Ed/Paul, Can your packaging of an application include external components like a MySQL or SQLite engine or must these be separate installs?
Do the py* packagers support the ability to create multiple 'library files' (for lack of a better term?) that can be updated independent of the main distribution vs. having to re-distribute a full build with every new release? For example, I distribute my VFP applications as a generic loader application that in turn calls my main app. My generic loader application is big, contains my runtime and external DLL/FLLs (unloaded at startup) and is infrequently updated. My main application (that is called by my loader) is updated more frequently and exists as a separate APP file or files. Is this type of packaging possible with the py* packagers? Do the py* packagers provide some form of encryption to prevent de-compilation? Or must I adjust to the brave new world of unprotected source code? Paul: Did I understand your Python/Dabo application releases (after packaging) are a single 25M EXE file? What percent of this size is due to your application vs. components? How efficiently does this 25M distribution compress? Per my loader question above, would it be possible to package the non-application portion of your applications in a generic loader (distributed once) and distribute your application as a separate file that could be updated independent of your loader (and its core libraries)? Thanks for your previous answers!
