I'll write a Wiki page to explain how to build your own Python distro
installer from scratch, as soon as I have some time to spare.

I'm glad that you liked it and that it did make your life easier.
After all, that's exactly the reason why I'm sharing all this.

Yes, you can thank Christoph as he has built % of WinPython packages.
Here are the packages used for building WinPython 2.7.3.1:
2 internal source packages: (available on WinPython's download page separately)
--------------------------
PyQtdoc-4.7.2.zip
Scidoc-1.6.2.zip
2 internal binary packages:
--------------------------
spyder-2.1.12.win32.exe
winpython-0.7.win32.exe
12 official source packages:
---------------------------
docutils-0.9.1.tar.gz
formlayout-1.0.9.tar.gz
Jinja2-2.6.tar.gz
logilab-astng-0.24.0.tar.gz
logilab-common-0.58.2.tar.gz
Pygments-1.5.tar.gz
pylint-0.25.2.tar.gz

xlrd-0.8.0.tar.gz
xlwt-0.7.4.tar.gz
36 binary packages built by Christoph Gohlke:
--------------------------------------------
(actually, the most significant packages here are NumPy MKL, SciPy and
some others, but this list could have been reduced to around 5
packages... but it was so much simple to download all packages on the
same page... that's why we can thank Christophe!)

Thanks for your proposition and for your enthousiasm!
I'll think about it.
In the meantime, I've granted you rights to create/edit wiki pages on
WinPython GoogleCode website, feel free to contribute that way if you
want to.

Why not, indeed, that's a good idea.
I'll probably take a look at those non-working package to see if I can
make them work.
Please do not hesitate to modify the existing Wiki pages as well.
