Re: [PyWrapper-devel] Libraries distribution in PyWrapper

[<m.d...@BG...>]

right.
but you cant ask the users to compile a python interpreter. So only for =
Windows and OSX you would be able to include a compiled python. Sure =
thats possible, but a bit of work I guess.

There are tools to convert python scripts into OS native code, like =
py2app for OSX:
http://undefined.org/python/py2app.html

A large problem I see is that we cannot include all db drivers into the =
package. Oracle for example needs the Oracle client libs on the system =
and during compilation they hardcode paths. I think even mysql and =
postgres fix the path to the mysql binaries and configurations during =
compilation. So we would definitely need a bundle where you can still =
access parts and add you own libs - maybe in another directory though.


So for linux I think the way it is is good.
For OSX its on the edge cause py23 is included, but we will need py24.
For windows its ok, but a full installation would make life easier for =
them.

We surely will need ANT then to get control over all the different =
builds we need.
If you want go ahead and play with the idea. Maybe for pywrapper2.4?
1 build for WIN, 1 for OSX.4 and like it is for linux?
