If need be, I can help testing the build infrastructure since I have access
to various releases of Visual Studio as well.

WiX looks interesting but I'm neither in the position to change the
installer nor do I have a strong opinion. It's Martin's area of expertise.
On the one hand a XML based MSI generator could be easier to maint

I attended Guido's talk in which he said that the print statement was
going to become a function, but gave no sense of direction. There is a
print-like statement in the file statement called "write". So, perhaps
print could be reworked as follows, for starters:
def print(self, fileobj, stringobj,

I've looked at it, and I seriously doubt that. In WiX, you need to
specify a fixed file list (perhaps with wildcards; I'm unsure). This
will be tricky for Python, where the list of files to be installed
changes all the time.

No, I still haven't found a solution. I do want to use the merge
module; anything else probably isn't going to work.

Da...ng
Didn't you prepare a new MSI installer for 3.0a2 that includes the VS
Redist MSM for X86? I vaguely remember that you've replaced my installer
