Re: [Visualpython-users] Vpython on PyPi?

[Michele M. <mat...@gm...>]

My primary target is linux, however this method is cross platform.
I'm not an expert but I think distutils can take care of the compilation

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/724664/python-distutils-how-to-get-a-compiler-that-is-going-to-be-used

It's possible to submit also binary package, so the compilation can be
skipped and the binary can be downlaoded. Of course three binary should be
available for all the three platform.

Well if they are installing vpython and try to code something with it, I
think an ``easy_install vpython`` should not scare them too much.

Cheers,
Michele.
