Paul Moore <p.f.mo...@gmail.com> added the comment: In principle I don't have a problem with the automatic generation of an EXE (I assume it generates a shell script with no extension on Unix?) but it should be done in such a way that the EXE is version-independent. This is necessary to ensure that pure-python packages, when made into bdist_wininst installers, continue to be version-independent. (At the moment, distutils generates version-dependent bdist_wininst packages *only* for C extensions. Setuptools generates version-dependent installers all the time, which is a pain).
This may mean that a reimplementation is required, rather than copying the setuptools code. _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue870479> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
