Well, as they say, "That first step is a doozy."
I have ActiveState Python already installed.
The rest, I cannot install since, again, I only have one machine, and
I have to be sure that my Python setup is the same as everyone elses
setup on my team. "Oh, but PyGTK won't hurt." Sorry, I've been doing
software for 30 years and far far too often folks forget about some
extra library or search path change or dependency or ... and there is
no way I am spending/wasting any time chasing that stuff down, I have
spent far too much time doing that already in my career.
Look, having a installer means TortoiseHG's Python environment,
Mercurial setup, etc. are all --isolated-- from my main working Python
install.
Really, building an installer --should-- be easy.
I'm talked out on this. I would love to be able to contribute, but my
circumstances are such that it won't happen without a pushbutton
installer build.
Thanks for listening,
--Doug
