Hello, I'm getting into Python now after years of Perl, and as part of my research I must understand how to do some common tasks I need.
I have a bunch of Windows PCs at work to which I want to distribute an application I've developed on my PC. All these PCs have Python 2.5 installed. If my application contains only code I've developed, I simply zip its directory with .py files and send it to everyone, who can then use it by running the entry-point .py file. However, what if I've installed some 3rd party modules on my PC, and my application uses them (for example pyparsing, PiYAML and some others) ? I don't want to manually install all these packages (there may be dozens of them) on all those PCs (there may be dozens of those too). What is the best method I can use ? Naturally, I want all the non-standard packages my app uses to be detected automatically and collected into some kind of convenient distributable that is easy to pass around and run. I'm aware of py2exe - tried it and it works fine. But it creates huge executables, and I don't want to distribute those all the time. I much prefer a zipped directory of .py scripts that takes some 10s of KBs. Thanks in advance, Eli -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
