Hi everyone,

I'd like to announce the release of Python Packager 0.2!

What is it?
=========

Python Packager is a free web service which converts, or "compiles"
source code written in the Python programming language into
stand-alone applications for Windows and Linux using PyInstaller. It
aims to make packaging and sharing/deploying Python programs easy and
"just work". The website also provides free hosting for any Python
based utilities/programs.


What's new?
==========

- The website code's now open source
- A snazzy new theme
- The download page looks a lot nicer. It shows the information about
the application at the top, it has share links, it only shows the
build logs when they fail, it shows the size of the downloads, and it
has comments for public applications
- The build server's a lot quicker. It used to run over a dodgy
wireless connection on my laptop that got turned off and on a lot. Now
it runs on a dedicated workstation, connected via a cat6 cord with
100kb/s upload bandwidth to the web server
- Statistics on the amount of users/applications
- An RSS feed
- A blog with news/random stuff
- The icon upload's now a separate file upload which makes it easier
to understand
- Two steps when packaging have been merged
- You can actually delete your account
- There's now FAQ and feedback forms


Project Information
================

The project started out as a command line network server for
PyInstaller to package multiple platforms simultaneously, and grew
from that. So far there's 200 or so users, and about 400 applications
packaged, so it's coming along. Eventually I'd like to add Mac support
to create .dmg files. Integration with PyPi would be great too,
sometime down the track.

Anyway, you can check out the project at http://python-packager.com
The source code to the build server and web side is available on
launchpad at http://launchpad.net/python-packager

Feedback is always welcome :-)
