I faced the same problem as you: If the end user has to install everything needed to run my code my code is dead. If you target non-programers then don't ask them to install a development system. For python programs under windows I use cx_freeze to generate an stand-alone application and the nullsoft installer (nsis project at sourceforge) to deploy it. The download may be huge, but for the end user is really easy to install the code.

That's not a real problem if you package your software with PyInstaller or py2exe.

[PyKDE] Windows install broken
Hi, I moved to PyQt 4.1 and Qt.4.2.1 and install is not straightforward. I install Qt.4.2.1 for Windows (GPL) first, then PyQt 4.1 using the windows installer. PyQt4 applications do not run, complainging that Qt4Core.dll cannot be found. Have I done something wrong or is it normal? PS: I am recompiling PyQt4 from the sources to see If it works. Yet the problem is that for beginners, this process is tedious and it might stop them from testing PyQt, if the installer is "broken". ___ PyKDE mailing listPyKDE@mats.imk.fraunhofer.de http://mats.imk.fraunhofer.de/mailman/listinfo/pykde
