[Baypiggies] Windows/OS X installers for PyQt4 apps

[Benjamin Sergeant]

I would try to find a PyQt open-source app and look at their build script ;)

For packaging on Windows most people use py2exe. Looks like it works with
Qt.
http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/Py2exeAndPyQt

For OSX I'm not sure how it works (I know it works great for pure C++ apps,
but don't know for python/pyqt). Asking on the PyQt mailing list would be a
good start.

Then you need to create an installer on windows ...
