Using Python packaging tools to maintain source distributions in other languages?
Greetings all, I would like to leverage the Python packaging tools (e.g. distutils, setuptools, distribute, et. al.) to maintain (i.e. download, extract, configure, make, install, package) source distributions other than Python modules (e.g. zlib, openssl). Are there any open-source packages/tools that already do this? Any documentation in print or on the web that outlines a basic plan for doing such? Any and all help greatly appreciated. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

From what little I've read, it's only a make tool replacement. I'm looking for more "end-to-end" maintenance tools similar to -- perhaps built upon -- disutils, setuptools, and company. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Windows No-Install Distribution?
Hi, I would like to create/find a Python 3.x distribution that can be redeployed simply by copying a directory of required files; i.e. without the need for actually "installing" an MSI, modifying Windows registry entries, etc. First of all, will Python even work on Windows simply by copying files from one system to another? If so, does such a "no-install" distribution already exist? If not, what are the minimum set of Python 3.x files from a standard Windows Python installation required for proper/normal operation? Thanks, Eric. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Only the files in the 'Lib' subdirectory or are more needed? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
