Something great

within samples/extending Thomas Heller gives a setup.py scipt which automagically calls [http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php InnoSetup] to create a great looking (and perfectly working) Windows-Installer. Yes, really, ONE setup.exe is created which contains ALL stuff to have a readily installable Software out of your product.

also large

I programm using wxPython. A great library, a large library.

2.240.512 wxc.pyd 
3.416.064 wxmsw24uh.dll

To modules you cannnot skip. In addition there is as allways

974.915 python23.dll

giving more than 6 Megabyte with no line of code written

In total:

28 Datei(en) 9.549.525 Bytes (in lib) and 2 Datei(en) 1.011.779 Bytes (in prog)

summing up to 10.5 Megabyte ... not much with DSL, but... shocking, isn't it?

get it smaller

In the standard configuration [http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php InnoSetup] compressed it down to around 6.5 Megabyte.

I changed the setup.py to contain

print >> ofi, r"[Setup]"
print >> ofi, r"AppName=%s" % self.name
print >> ofi, r"AppVerName=%s %s" % (self.name, self.version)
print >> ofi, r"DefaultDirName=c:\ghum\%s" % self.name
print >> ofi, r"DefaultGroupName=%s" % self.name
print >> ofi, r"Compression=bzip" 
print >> ofi

... the special line is

print >> ofi, r"Compression=bzip"

the result

4.335.283 setup.exe

Quite an OK download ... and I use ZODB and Elementtree and pythoncom and and and....
