Hi, I'm to the stage where I need to deploy the app I built with wxPython. I've been able to successfully build it w/py2exe into a binary (about 10MB size in total).
What I'd like to do is create an automatic updater, so that I can have users download updated versions of my *application code* without having to have them redownload everything (the interpreter, etc) via a complete redownload (I want to package some things as "components"). Eggs seem like an ideal solution, but I haven't had any luck using them in conjunction with py2exe. It would seem that the most effective solution would be to package a python interpreter (with wxPython, etc already included) into the distributed app's directory and not use py2exe at all; however, since everything would be included in the distribution, it would seem that the full python distro would be huge (50MB at least), which defeats the purpose of wanting to build the app into "components". Worst-case scenario would be to have them redownload the 10MB update each time, but that's less than ideal, since the audience for my program would have more frequent/less substantial updates over time, rather than big updates all at once. Any guidance or suggestions are very much appreciated. Marcus -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
