[Tutor] Application packaging

[Carlos Daniel Ruvalcaba Valenzuela]

Hello list,

Lately I have been working on a windows desktop application for a client,
using python and pyside, everything working fine, but I'm getting a bit
stuck when trying to distribute the application to the client.

Currently I'm using a combination of py2exe and clickonce, what are your
experiences on distributing this kind of applications on a windows
environment?

Personally I have tried py2exe, pyinstaller, cx_freeze, only py2exe got me a
working bundle but a ugly one full of unordered files, I wrapped all this on
a ClickOnce installer so the user just sees an icon in their desktop. The
problem with this approach is that it results in a huge bundle, updates are
a pain too. Any ideas or experience with this (not precisely this combo but
the packaging in general)?

Regards,
Carlos Ruvalcaba

PD: I'm looking for the actual state of things right now as I'm sure this
questing has been asked in the past.
