Hmm.. I will be deploying to exactly the same linux distro. However, will the release versions not work? I'm really not confortable using software pulled out of third party svn for my work. That puts me in the position of fixing or working around bugs in development software, whereas I'm just trying to solve a relatively small problem of how do I get my software on the machine of the other guys in my office with minimal hassle. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PyInstaller" group.
