Distributing Python Code

[Lyle Johnson]

Nick,

Depending on how many files you're talking about, and how they're currently
packaged, you may want to consider using the Distutils package (a standard
part of Python as of Python-1.6). It will build zip files or Windows
installers for Windows, gzipped tar files under Unix (which is basically the
standard there). It will also install the files to the "right place" on the
installation platform, which is a nice plus.

For more information, see this introduction:

Hope this helps,

Lyle
