One of my very minor work tasks is converting old Dos batch files to something new. For this I have been using Python. For the GUI when needed, I have been using TKinter, however I really want to give wxWidgets a try. It looks much more promising.
My only worry is that I need to redistribute these files to users/colleagues who aren't always great with installing things. I don't want them to have to install Python, then wxWidgets...
I've got the python install covered, by sending the /quiet flag to the MSI installer. However, with wxPython's installer this trick does not work.
I know it is possible to bundle wxWdigets with an application, because PostgreSQL's PG Admin III program uses it.
How would I go about bundling wxPython with a Python application so they don't need to use the installer?
I have my own installer that I wrote, ironically in Python to install the application. I used py2exe to compile it to an exe so it can install Python. I'd like to add the ability to install wxWidgets to it as well.
Any Ideas?
