Oh, wonderful! Thank you Phil, this will make deploying stuff on Windows
that much easier. :)
Speaking of which, Giovanni -- if I remember correctly (which I may not,
on account of silly brain), you mentioned to me having worked on a PyQt
installer mode where everything is compiled statically inside a
single .pyd, leading to drastic space reduction. Did you get it into
any sufficiently good shape that the rest of us could use it to ship
PyInstaller-made packages for PyQt software that actually don't weigh
in the tens of MBs? That'd be awesome. :)
It wasn't a PyInstaller mode, it was just a way of compiling PyQt. I
spoke of this to Phil and he agreed to implement it directly within
SIP/PyQt. The above installer is the result of his work.
If you use the above installer and run it through PyInstaller, you end
up with a Qt hello world executable of ~3Mb. I don't have exact numbers
handy, because I use a stripped down python25.dll and a stripped down
_qt.pyd (without many Qt features I don't use). My own Qt hello world is
less than 2Mb (1.8Mb right now).
