: python-setuptools

[Jerome]

Hello Stephen,


I was not able to generate a windows installer with setup.py :

    python setup.py bdist_wininst
or
    python -c "import setuptools;execfile('setup.py')" bdist_wininst
(build an .exe that includes .egg-info, so that other packages will be able to detect it at runtime.)

also for generating a windows "binary" installer :

   python setup.py bdist_msi

I only generated a simple source package/archive in .zip format :

   python setup.py sdist


Gramps will be a part of python libs, maybe this will help us to provide some packages more easily according to OS or distributions !

For the launcher script under Windows (maybe gramps.pyw), some programs add a line on setup () :

windows = [ {'script':os.path.join('src','gramps'),}],

Also, some __init__.py have not been written yet (package directories), but it will not be so hard to generate them !


Best Regards,
Jérôme
