Hello folks, I've developed some command-line tools for biologists using python/ numpy and some custom C and Fortran extensions, and I'm trying to figure out how to easily distribute them...
For people using linux, I figure a source distribution is no problem at all. (Right?) On the other hand, for Mac users (whose computers by default don't have the dev tools, and even then would need to get a fortran compiler elsewhere) I'd like to figure out something a bit easier. I'd like to somehow provide an installer (double-clickable or python script) that does a version check and then installs an appropriate version of prebuilt binaries for numpy and my C and Fortran extensions. Is this possible within the bounds of the python or numpy distutils? Would setuptools be a better way to go? Preferably it would be a dead easy, one-step thing... Or is this whole idea problematic, and better to stick with source distribution in all cases?
