I would recommending using cx_Freeze to make a binary installer for your app (http://cx-freeze.sourceforge.net/). It's at least do-able that way. I've never had any luck trying to get users to install the entire PyQt stack themselves on Windows.
Another option might be to provide three links, like these: 1. http://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.2.3/python-3.2.3.msi 2. http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Downloads/PyQt4/PyQt-Py3.2-x86-gpl-4.9.4-1.exe 3. <URL to download your app> But this gets tricky if you're using a lot (or *any*) non-standard Python modules. By packaging your own installer, you can ensure that it contains everything needed, all in one place... Good luck! :-) On Mon, Aug 6, 2012 at 12:19 PM, Bryan A.
