Packaging?

[Kris Caselden]

Particularly in Windows, how do create installation packages for
python scripts? I've noticed that PyOpenGL and PyGame use a pretty
nice installer, and some games I've seen install and run without even
needing python installed. How is this done?

First you need to create an executable, which gets around the need for a
separate python installation -
check out py2exe:
starship.python.net/crew/theller/py2exe/

For an easy and free installer try Inno Setup:
