[Pyode-user] Pyode binary distribution

[<al...@ci...>]

Hello,

I have tried to create a binary Win32 installer for latest PyODE snapshot.
I am sure Kadir and others will find it useful.

Since the distribution is not very small (about 1 MB), I did not attached it;
instead, you may download it from:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4124919/pyode-win32.zip

The zip archive contains two files, for Python 2.5 and 2.6:

PyODE-snapshot-2010-03-22.win32-py2.5.exe
PyODE-snapshot-2010-03-22.win32-py2.6.exe

The binary distribution was created from today's snapshot from git repository.

The ODE DLL is compiled from SVN, from March 15 2010. This version worked for me
much better than 0.11.1 (it was more stable and also faster).

ODE was compiled with double precision, release, using mingw.

Since I'm a beginner in creating Python packages, I have two small issues:

1. The installer copies "ode.dll" to c:\python25. Is this a problem?
I believe it should be copied into "site-packages" instead, but I did not know
how to
specify this in setup.py.

2. The examples are copied into c:\python25\pyode-examples. Is there a better
choice?

3. When installing the binary package to a fresh Python directory, tutorials 1
and 3
work fine; the others need pygame and maybe cgkit. Is there a way to specify
these dependencies in the binary installer?

I have added examples and ode.dll as "data_files" in setup.py. I would also like to
see the setup.py which created the releases from pyode.sourceforge.net (1.2.0).

Regards,
Alex
