Have you looked into using sitecustomize.py? I used it at my previous studio to distribute all tools, inside applications like maya and standalone with pyQt included. you need to add the path to the sitecustomize.py location on the server to a pythonpath env variable on every machine. Then every time an app starts up a python interpreter it will execute this sitecustomize.py file.
I have used it to set plugin/shelf/module paths, add env variable for the running instance of the interpreter to allow the tool to use Qt, pyQt from the server, copy necessary files to local installs of apps like Nuke that required certain things to be local to work. Then with standalone tools you can execute them with a bat file that points to the server location of python and the py file for your app or an have executables. You can even have different sitecustomize.py files for different disciplines within the pipeline so that they get different setups when they start up a program all by pointing the pythonpath env variable on a machine to which sitecustomize.py you want them to use. Then when a new employee comes along you just have to set the pythonpath env variable on their machine and they can start using tools form the network. -Cheers, Damon Shelton mo-cap pipeline td - naughty dog On Thu, Sep 27, 2012 at 12:55 AM, Gabor L.
