Current python 2.6 on windows status?

[Tim Diggins]

Hi -

just looking at options for installing executables using python 2.6
(+wx, opengl...) and wondering what the current status is...

ticket 38 (http://www.pyinstaller.org/ticket/38) seems to imply
everything is fine if you download one of two options and add them to
the package

whereas ticket 39 (http://www.pyinstaller.org/ticket/39) seems to
imply the situation is more complex (a specific patch for a specific
revision).

and the homepage (http://www.pyinstaller.org) simply states that
"Python 2.6 on Windows is still not supported because of the SxS CRT
mess".

any updates?
any help needed?

There is a patch in ticket/39 that is applicable to latest svn trunk and
it seems to me to be fairly stable.

I've created an executable for my little python app (qt4) using that
patch there. The executable was created without any issues and the
executable seems working fine.

That sounds great.

Any ideas (from a maintainer/committer) as to why ticket /39 is still
a patch and not in a branch (or even added to trunk?).
Any words of warning (or request for help, e.g. to test in specific
areas/setups)?

We are trying to stabilize trunk for PyInstaller 1.4. It is relatively
stable right now, so I will issue a release-candidate soon, followed by
the release.

After 1.4 is branched and out, we can surely review and merge ticket /39
and a couple of other branches with new features (specifically, there is
a branch with a working implementation of multiple executable packing,
with sharing of dynamic libraries to reduce disk size).

I expect a large flow of incoming bugreports after 1.4 is out, but we
will take care of those in the release branch.
