pypy, distributing apps on windows. (428) #406
Description
Issue №428 opened by illume at 2018-03-20 11:12:34
Without being able to distribute programs on windows, pypy is not very useful for people wanting to make windows apps. I haven't been able to find a 'exe maker' for pypy yet, and a couple of pypy developers didn't know either.
Currently pypy for windows is released as a zip folder. No installer.
- NSIS is an installer maker for windows.
- pynsist is a very nice installer for python apps.
- [pypy releases](https://pypy.org/download.html# release)
Some potential steps...
- get pygame installed into the pypy site-packages folder in the pypy release folder.
- get pygame wheel working on windows.
- make a zip containing pypy+pygame installed, and a document showing people where to copy their game. With a
rungame.batfile. - look at how pypy release could be used with NSIST and pynsist
- first draft, get a basic NSIST installer working.
