Well, as far as I know, py2exe tries the opposite, i.e. isolate the application environment. Also, it won't be easy to write a package manager in a secure way. You might be interested in packaging TortoiseHg on MSYS2, which has Python and Qt packages installable by pacman. > Or, if not that, maybe Windows Tortoise could at least handle some > site-packages directory (say C:\Program Files\Tortoise HG\site-packages > or sth like that)? This would open possibility of writing separate > „install to tortoise"" tool. Touching "Program Files" by user application is the source of trouble. They've made a tricky filesystem abstraction for Win9x compatibility. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Tortoisehg-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tortoisehg-discuss
