[Distutils] Python: Distributing Python modules

[Pankaj Gupta]

Hi,
 
Windows Installer Executables using distutils
 
I am able to create windows installer executable using 'python setup.py' on command prompt.
 
using below code is written in 'setup.py'
 
       from distutils.core import setup
 
       setup(name='Test',            description="Python Test",            version='0.1',            script_name = 'setup.py',            script_args = ['bdist_wininst','--install-script=post.py'],            scripts = ['Post.py'],            data_files = getDATA())
 
Following are the issues need to be resolved after installing windows installer 'Test.exe'
 
1.It installs at default location and creates a folder 'Test' under 'C:\Python24'
Question: Could you please suggest me how to change the default location using above mentioned code or can specify location on UI in windows installer ?
 
2. When we double click on windows installer 'Test.exe' it shows UI
Question: Another requirement: Can we suppress the UI? I am looking 'how to launch the executable installers (e.g ctypes-1.0.1.win32-py2.4.exe) for the prerequisites silently – i.e., without user interaction'
 
Could you please help me or send me direct e-mail ids regarding 'Distributing python modules' so that i can communicate accordingly?
 
Thanks
PG
