I am starting work on a Python/Qt4 based GUI and am looking for advice on
packaging the finished application for Windows XP and OS X.
The details are:
* The development is being done on Linux (Ubuntu and Debian), so open source
packaging tools that run on Linux are preferred.
* I am using the GPL licensing option for Qt4 (entire application
distributed under the GPL).
* The current dependencies are Qt4 and some pure Python libraries.
* The target audience is non-programmer biologists, so the install process
should be on the order of "download this file and double-click to
install".
My initial googling suggests py2exe for Windows and py2app for OS X, but I am
particularly interested in the quirks of using such tools to package PyQt.
Thank you for your time,
Mark Voorhies
