[Visualpython-users] vpython installer

Hi!

Some weeks ago there was a question on this list how to make the
installation of VPython on Windows easier, using an installer without the
need of extracting a ZIP archive to the correct location.  I suggested
having a look at the distutils, but got only negative feedback, because of
the weird command-line nature of this mechanism.

But I think there must be a way to generate some easy to use graphical
installers. Recently I installed PyOpenGL (http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/)
and py2exe (http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/py2exe/) and both
installers claim, "Build with distutils-1.0.1". The Registry is searched,
and if multiple Python installations are found, one can select the desired
one. All with an easy to use GUI.

This should be no criticism but only a hint.

Kind regards, Markus
