Why would you think it creates an MSI? bdist_wininst is not bdist_msi. > bdist_msi is not set as a valid command to run inside the commands > package __init__.py. Is it a problem? In distutils too, bdist_msi is not registered in command.__init__, as it can’t run on non-Windows, but the bdist command knows that it exists and can run it. IOW, there are two registries of bdist commands: in command.__init__, which is used by --help-commands and others, and in bdist. In distutils, calling bdist --formats=msi or directly bdist_msi works (on Windows); if it doesn’t work with packaging, this is another bug to report. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12449> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
