M$ windows python libs installed in arbitrary directories for customizedpython distributions

[alf]

Hi,

for some reason I have to deal with custom python distributions.

It turned out it is quite simple - I just install the python from
python.org and all the libs needed. Then I take python2n.dll from
c:\win*\system32 and move directly to PYTHONDIR. Then I can just tar/zip
the PYTHON dir and distribute around so users do not have to deal with
dozen of libs and packages.

Small difficulty is a maintenance of such "distribution". Namely when I
want install a new lib M$ installer just can not find my python
installations probably due to missing registry entries.

Is there any way to force the actual python site-lib for M$ installers????

thx in advance,

it's spelled "Windows installers", and code to do the necessary registry updates
can be found here:

I want to second this. It was me who created the installer, and I don't
like to see my name abbreviated as M$ (if you think you should write
out the name of the MSI creator, please say "Martin's installer" .

ok, let me clarify, by M$ I meant Micro$oft.

I suspect that's the significance of the smiley.
