On approximately 1/27/2010 1:08 AM, came the following characters from
the keyboard of Glenn Linderman:
Without reference to distutils, it seems the pieces are:
1) a way to decide what to include in the package
2) code that knows where to put what is included, on one or more
platforms
3) the process to create the ZIP file that includes 1 & 2, and call it
an appropriate name.py
3 looks easy, once 1 & 2 are figured out. distutils might provide the
foundation for 1. 2 sounds like something a distutils application
might create. I'm not sure that distutils is in the business of
building installer programs, my understanding is that it is in the
business of providing a standard way of recording and interpreting
bills of materials and maybe dependencies, but that is based only on
reading discussions here, not reading documentation. I haven't had a
chance to read all the module documentation since coming to python.
3 was rather easy, and has come in handy for me, as it turned out: see
