Create a platform agnostic DistUtils installer #22

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Using python's distutils approach to installing the dependencies and files 
will make the whole process of distributing the library that much easier.

According to Mark Guzdial, all installers before were created by hand, 
where as platform specific packages can be created by the distutils 
packagers (rpm/mpkgs/self extracting exes).

Since we did not get to creating a packager this term, we should go ahead 
and do this right from the get go now.

Created a distutils installer.
The following installers have been created:
1. Standalone PyGraphics distutils installer.
2. PIL and PyGraphics combined distutils installer.
3. PyGraphics windows installer.

Windows seems to have problems with the distutils installer PIL
installer, the error message says that Python was compiled using
Visual Studio 2006 and thus all installed libraries must so compiled.
This is solved by using PIL's windows specific installer.
