On StackOverflow, I asked if it was possible to package a command-line
tool
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13998830/include-pdftk-in-a-distributable-python-module>
(specifically pdftk and gsview) with a Python script that used them
(just on Windows). One answer suggested PyInstaller, but I'm still
not certain that willl work, since I'm not using ctypes to access the
libraries (I'm using subprocess.call to access the tools - they're on
my system path). Can I just include pdftk as a resource file and dump
it into a directory with the script?
I'm over my head on this one - thanks for any guidance you can provide.
Hi,
I am packaging mencoder.exe with my app, it works just fine. Under
Windows, the exe's directory is added automatically to the path, so you
just call the executable.
See my PyInstaller spec file
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~eudoxos/woo/trunk/view/head:/woo.pyinstaller.spec#L67
and how is it called via subprocess.call then:

HTH, Vaclav
