Hi all,

Thanks for your responses.

I've finally ended up with PythonCard, py2exe and the NSIS (Nullsoft)
installer-gen.

Beautiful. :))

Build a GUI in the graphical resource editor.
Drop in a few event handlers.
Debug and test on Linux.
Run py2exe on Windows, and end up with a small bunch of files that sit at
one directory level, requiring no INI/Registry/Windows hacks or any other
esoteric BS. Sooo easy to pack up into an installer.

In other words, if it runs in Linux, there's a 98+% chance that the
py2exe'd version will work perfectly on Windows.

Linux side also easy - just require python and libwxgtk in the deb.

Suits me perfectly. The less time I have to spend in Windows, the better
:)

Cheers
David
