That said, I have been working on a drop-in replacement for the current bdistwininst executable stub with the following features: - install to 32- or 64-bit Python installations from a single installer; currently one installer for each architechure is required - install to any Python from version 2.4 to the latest; currently one installer is needed for each major version - updated look and feel (Wizard97) with the new (as of Python 2.5!) logo; for some screen shots see: http://www.flickr.com/photos/67460826@N04/sets/72157627653603530/ - unicode metadata support (name, summary, description) - runs on Win95 through Win7 (that is, all support platforms for the supported Python versions for packaging) - per-user installs (as in, setup.py install --user); currently only system-wide or per-user based on permissions and how Python itself was installed
I missed a few additional features:
- UAC (Vista, Win7) is handled at the install phase depending on the selected Python target (system or user installed Python or user site-packages); currently just at the running of the installer
- pre-/post- install and remove script support with the scripts no longer needing to be installed with the distribution
- MSVCRT agnostic; built completely with the Windows API meaning only one stub EXE required; currently there is one stub per MSVCRT version
