Description David Grant 2003-12-04 17:05:35 UTC
This is like py2exe but it can be used in Linux
Comment 1 David Grant 2003-12-05 10:25:39 UTC
I can make this ebuild, it's simple.  But where should it be installed?  It's kind of a strange package.  It's not a python module, because you would never "import" it in a python file.  It more of something you would just execute, like btdownloadgui.py (Bittorrent) for example.  Some binaries also need to be made by running:

python Make.py
make

in the Installer/source/linux directory.

Please advise on where this package should go in the directory structure.  I'd prefer putting it all into /opt

i haven't looked at this in depth. if it is just a python app, then install it like bittorrent, straw or meld.

put the executables in /usr/bin and the misc support files in /usr/share/python-installer. usually /opt is for binary only packages like openoffice-ximian, realplayer, etc.

Does it have working WWW page?

Closing bug - this is a somewhat odd piece of software. I'd say it's more interesting in a Windows environment.

If you can provide a working homepage and preferably an ebuild I'd be willing to look at it again.
