The idea is that one should be able to decide what to share and what not
to share through the spec files, as the spec file will dictate what to
put within an executable and what to put into a separate PKG file.
For instance:
=================================================================
# -*- mode: python -*-
a = Analysis([os.path.join(HOMEPATH,'support\\_mountzlib.py'),
os.path.join(HOMEPATH,'support\\useUnicode.py'), 'foo.py'])
b = Analysis([os.path.join(HOMEPATH,'support\\_mountzlib.py'),
os.path.join(HOMEPATH,'support\\useUnicode.py'), 'bar.py')
pyz = PYZ(a.pure+b.pure)
pkg = PKG(a.scripts + b.scripts +
a.binaries + b.binaries +
a.zipfiles + b.zipfiles,
name=os.path.join('dist', "shared.pkg"))
exe1 = EXE([],
a.scripts,
exclude_binaries=1,
name=os.path.join('dist', 'foo.exe'),
debug=True,
strip=False,
upx=False,
console=True )
exe2 = EXE([],
b.scripts,
exclude_binaries=1,
name=os.path.join('dist', 'bar.exe'),
debug=True,
strip=False,
upx=False,
console=True )
=================================================================
The main problem in implementing this is that the bootloader currently
assumes there's only one .PKG file (global variables everywhere). And
you still need a (slim) PKG appended to each executable (the bootstrap
scripts).
