Target audience is little or no programming experience. I have a win32 only library I need to write an installer for. As part of the installation it must: 1.. find where a program is installed 2.. copy a file to the directory 3.. add the directory to the pythonpath and change a ini file. 4.. add a example directory at a user selected path.As well as add this to pythonpath. 5.. Add the main library to site packages.
There is also a package of examples which need to be independently upgradable and located in the main directory. Suggestions? I'm thinking disutils would make for the easiest method but as far as I can see you can't run a script on finishing the installation or get the user to select from a directory. Nor does it seem contain methods to find windows programs without downloading pythonwin32 as well. For the examples, NSIS or equivalent looks to be what I need but overly complicated. Can you combine NSIS and disutils? Or should I just use NSIS without disutils. Advice appreciated. The first time I've released software before ;-) Guy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
