I've created a binary Windows installer for what will be PyQt v4.3 at
http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/Downloads/PyQt4/GPL/PyQt-gpl-4.3a1-Py2.5.exe
The purpose of the package is to satisfy the needs of 95% of users - not 100%.
At the moment this includes the following...
- the standard PyQt4 modules (except QtDesigner)
- QScintilla2
- pyuic4, pyrcc4, pylupdate4
- designer, assistant, linguist
- Qt and PyQt docs
- PyQt examples
- support for SQLite (but no other database drivers)
- support for PNG, SVG, GIF, JPEG (but no other image formats)
It also includes sip (though isn't listed here).
I plan to add eric4 and (probably) the SSL classes before the final release. I
may remove the Qt documentation and just provide a link to Trolltech's
website.
The package isn't extensible. If you want to add additional Qt based modules
(or additional database drivers or image formats) then you should build
things yourself.
I'd like feedback on anything else you think is missing and should be in the
final release (like I've just realised I forgot lrelease).
My feedback is:
* no eric4. Given this package, installing eric4 should be very easy for
most users. Plus, detlev could use PyInstaller or similar tools to provide
self-contained Windows executables.
* yes SSL. It is an integral part of Qt 4.3; the fact that can be optioned
out is just because of politics, AFAICT.
* provide somewhere the configure.cache used to compile Qt, as a reference
of what is included and what is not. I suggest c:\program files\pyqt4, and
referenced in the documentation (you might want a README.TXT into c:\program
files\pyqt4 that lists all the packages above with their exact version number,
include Qt's version number).
* Are you using LZMA compression while building the NSIS installer, aren't you?
* I'm not sure installing assistant/designer/linguist in c:\python25 is the
right way to go. Why don't you put them into c:\program files\pyqt? I am not
so sure about the location of pylupdate/pyrcc/pylrealease.
Thanks for working on this!
