[Numpy-discussion] Fwd: an interesting single-file, cross-platform Python deployment tool.

[Fernando Perez]

Hi all,

sorry for the slightly off-topic post, but I know that in our
community many people often struggle with deployment issues (to
colleagues, to experimental/hardware control machines, to one-off test
machines, ...).  I just stumbled upon this announcement by accident,
and figured it might prove useful.

If anyone happens to try it out and has any feedback on whether it
works well or not, I suspect I wouldn't be the only one interested.

Cheers,

f
