Help with Windows build of Yapgvb Python extension

[Lonnie Princehouse]

I'm the author of Yapgvb, a Python binding for Graphviz. Yapgvb
enjoys modest success, but for some time it has been in dire need of a
Python 2.5 build for Windows. I'm posting this message in the hopes of
finding someone who is interested in making this build.

This is a relatively quick task for someone who is comfortable with
building C extensions and has an operational Windows build environment
for Python 2.5 (which I don't). Alternately, it's a great way to
learn about these things, and to get involved with a small open source
project.

Technologies used:
graphviz
distutils
boost.python
boost.graph

See: http://yapgvb.sourceforge.net

What do you need exactly? One of those executables created using bdist
or are you going for the msi?

I usually attempt to create these things doing

python setup.py bdist_wininst

....for executable installers.

If you can provide a valid setup.py, I can probably create the exe/
msi.

Yes, a bdist_wininst installer is what I had in mind. MSI would be
fine, too --- whichever is easier.

If anyone wants to have a look, there's a README file that details
what I did to build yapgvb for Python 2.4.

The source is available from anonymous subversion:

svn co https://yapgvb.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/yapgvb yapgvb

and is also web-browseable, http://yapgvb.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/yapgvb/
