py2exe help, Does anyone know where I can find a few examples of postinstallation scripts used to install a package on a Windows machine? I want to run the script from the installer created with the "bdist_wininst" command. I would appreciate any help. jim-on-linux http:\\www.inqvista.com |

That means that the two commands (py2exe and bdist_wininst) are incompatible. For creating installers of py2exe programs I recommend innosetup. It is free and the wizard makes creating installers very easy. For post-install scripts of Python modules, created without py2exe and using the "bdist_wininst" command, this is the wrong place to ask. :-) Both IPython and SPE are two packages that use post install scripts, so maybe you could download those and use them as examples.

This appears unrelated to py2exe! You probably want to ask about bdist_wininst on the distutils-sig mailing list. The pywin32 package has a postinstall script - see setup.py and pywin32_postinstall.py in the root of the pywin32 source distribution. Cheers, Mark |
