Distributing Python modules

If you come across a Python module that doesn’t have a Windows installer package available for it, and it’s packaged with distutils (almost every module is), you can make one by running:

setup.py bdist_wininst

If you look in the dist folder, you’ll find a nice Windows installer for the module. More information on distutils can be found here.

I compiled some of the modules that I use, that don’t offer a binary package for Win32 Py2.6. You can download them from here.
