Thread: [Vnc2swf-users] Packaging pyvnc2swf

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi

I have created a setup script for pyvnc2swf which allows packaging it in
any of the standard ways (source distribution, rpm, windows installer)
and also as a py2exe standalone app on Windows.
This uses the standard python distutils system, enhanced by setuptools
(http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools) and py2exe
(http://py2exe.sourceforge.net/)

It makes life much easier if pyvnc2swf files are installed in a package
rather than just standalone, so to run this you need to move all the py
files to a pyvnc2swf directory under the main source directory.
This kind of move is of course annoying when using CVS, but I have found
it makes projects much easier to package and distribute.

I have made some source packages and builds using this system and placed
them at http://davidf.sjsoft.com/files/pyvnc2swf/
  pyvnc2swf-0.8.2.tar.gz  - source tarball
  pyvnc2swf-0.8.2.tar.gz  - source zip file
  pyvnc2swf-0.8.2-py2.4.egg  - Python egg (from setuptools)
  pyvnc2swf-0.8.2-1.noarch.rpm  - RPM for Python 2.4
  pyvnc2swf-0.8.2-1.src.rpm  - Source RPM
  pyvnc2swf-0.8.2.win32.exe  - installer for installing Python package
under Windows
  pyvnc2swf-0.8.2-setup.exe  - standalone installer for installing
py2exe package under Windows (includes Python libraries and all
dependencies, doesn't require Python)

The setup.py file is included below (it will only work with the
rearranged source code of course, this is just for reference)

Yusuke, if you don't have much time for this at the moment, would it be
possible to get commit rights to the CVS repository? Or just briefly
comment what you think about this? That would be appreciated

Any comments from anyone else appreciated too...

Regards
David
