Hello, am I wrong or isn't there a way in distutils to build (compile/link) a native executable and install it among the "scripts"? It looks like that distutils.CCompiler features a link_executable() method, and build_ext.py has most of the logic needed to track dependencies, include paths and whatnot, but nothing is exposed at a higher level.
I was going to subclass build_ext and find a way to piggy-back link_executable() into it instead of link_shared_object(), but I thought I asked before doing useless / duplicate work. -- Giovanni Bajo -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
