Windows installer from python source code without access to source code

[Jim Schwartz]

Thanks everyone for the help.  I got my app working with using cython to
generate the c code, cl to compile, and visual studio to create the
setup.exe and the msi installer.  I appreciate the help.

Is this what you'd recommend doing when distributing a cython-generated code
compiled with cl.  I want to distribute this in a windows or other operating
system installer.  I'll start with windows first.  I don't think I can use
cx_freeze to create the installer, unless I know which files to include in
the package and list them.

Yea, thanks a lot.  That makes sense.  I was testing it on my development
environment and got it to work that way, but I need to package it and test
it on my dual boot "user" environment.  Thanks again for the help.  I've
deleted that environment variable.

In most cases an application should be isolated from PYTHON* environment
variables. If you're creating a Python application or embedding Python in an
application, use the embeddable distribution, and add any additional
required sys.path directories to the included "._pth" file (e.g.
"python311._pth").
