wxPython revisited

For the last few days I’ve been putting together a small wxPython application. It’s been a while since I last used wxPython (7 or 8 months) and I knew that the notation was changing, but it turns out to be very straightforward. There’s also backward compatibility with exisiting code, so old scripts won’t break.

I love the simplicity of py2exe for turning the finished script into a windows executable; it’s just a shame that the wxPython library adds so much weight to the finished product. Zipped it will squeeze down to 3.5Meg, which is enormous given the complexity of the application, but in this case seems to be an acceptable size.

NSIS seems to be a popular option for creating an install package. I haven’t used it before, but I’ll give you an update on the progress.
