Hi, I have looked at various deployment tools in September and stayed with cx_freeze. It worked equally well with both, PyQt4 and PySide, but * I have tested only on Windows; * I am importing only parts of QtCore, QtGui, QtWebKit and QtNetwork; * I am still not sure how to handle fatal errors. In the end, deploying was as simple as cxfreeze --base-name Win32GUI --target-dir=MyApp myapp.py If you really want to move to PySide, you should try to do it as soon as possible, because otherwise you are not only developing, but also testing your app with PyQt4. I was doing the same and when the time came to deploy, I realised that there is a missing binding in PySide, thus I had to ship with PyQt4. The missing binding was added in 2 weeks, so I would have been able to deploy using PySide, had I tested earlier. -- -- Rogutės Sparnuotos _______________________________________________ PySide mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openbossa.org/listinfo/pyside
