Hi Yagnesh and others, First I think while PythonCAD is alpha or beta don't install files outside the users home directory. Even if someone want to try a alpha or beta stage application it don't want it to install files on its computer which he thinks may can do harm to its computer. I think when pythoncad is in alpha or beta stage no installation should be necessary. Just unpack the PythonCAD-DS1-R37.tar.gz and start a file from the bin directory (which is provided in the .tar.gz). The file from the bin directory adjust the necessary paths and starts the application by executing the pythoncad.py file. If there is an PythonCAD update the user can just delete the old one and unpack the new one. For osx (starting from R38) I will put all the dependencies in the .tar.gz file (even libgtk and pygtk and maybe python) so no additional installation is needed. In that way I provide the same environment in which I tested PythonCAD to the user, no differences in libgtk, python or 32/64 bits versions versions. Regards, Gertwin |
