Its the tool needed to build pyqt4 from sources because it generates the actual C code for the bindings from so-called .sip files which describe the API of the classes in C++ library and how they should be mapped into python. >>> - How do I package an app up that uses PyQt4 as a >>> double-click-installer for non-technical users? >> >> Same as the first thing above: They should use the PyQt4 installer from >> Phil or distro packages and then just execute your python script. > > IS there no way to package up an application such that you don't need to > seperately install python, pyqt4 and then the app? Well, you can create a NSIS installer for windows, I've got no idea how distribution works on MacOSX. Others have already pointed out py2exe, but I see from time to time mails here that people have problems with py2exe in some cases. In general distributing apps for a platform that doesn't have a packaging system is a PITA if you have dependencies. (I'm not saying a packaging system like linux distro's use is the ultimate answer, there are problems with that sometimes too - versioning, integrating with the packaging system....)
