[Boa Constr] Distributing boa apps

[Aaron H. <aa...@Me...>]

What would be the best way to distribute a boa app to users w/o python 
installed on thier machine?

I am playing with the installer from 
http://www.mcmillan-inc.com/install5_ann.html
but I thought I would ask here.

Thanks,

I personally use py2exe, and Boa has some support for it.

If you create a setup.py file for your project 
(from Palette->New->Setup) you can build an exe by selecting
File->py2exe from the Setup.py module in the Editor.

Note that it is your responsibility to make sure that everything that 
py2exe requires is in the setup.py file.
(like importing py2exe, etc. see the py2exe docs)

It's on my todo list to support Installer too, but there are 
many many other things with higher priority.

Amazing.

I tried BOA back at version .05 and the current (.12) is Amazing.  I 
have been developing w/ VB, Delphi, and Java for over 8 years and have 
recently started working with wxPython. The amount of control and scope 
of features in the tool is fantastic.

I going to use it for my next internal GUI project and see how it works 
out to build a production system.

That's what I use and it is pretty flexible and simple.
It works with boa apps with no additional configuration.

On Windows platform I use the py2exe module and just create a setup.py and
run the following command:-
PYTHON setup.py py2exe -w
The -w option is used if you don't want a MSDOS type command window to be
opened

The setup.py is very simple and just includes something like:-

    from distutils.core import setup
    import py2exe
    setup(name = exe_name,
          version = ver,
          scripts = script_names,
    )
