Package tools from open-tamil for windows 32/64 on Python 2.7+ #149

Closed arcturusannamalai closed 4 years ago

arcturusannamalai commented 6 years ago

Currently we have 6 command line tools from open-tamil package (see issue #148) - but these are not usually available for non-developer. However not to lose heart, we can package them.

We may use the setup.py to build the package for Windows 32/64 bit as a self-extracting msi package files. See: https://docs.python.org/2/distutils/builtdist.html

I need a volunteer for Win32 builds; I have a Win 64 machine to build the alternative.

Other platforms can also be supported Mac OS X and Linux, but not important at this time. Please add your thoughts below.

It would be better if we remove .py extension while copying executables to bin.

arcturusannamalai commented 6 years ago

@ssurenr in Python world there is django-admin.py etc which are binaries. It is well understood to have py extension. Alternative is to have a fully compiled executable, which is not what I am proposing.

ssurenr commented 6 years ago

Understood! Are we considering distributing it as compiled executables?

arcturusannamalai commented 6 years ago

No.

We will sunset Python 2.7 as per https://github.com/Ezhil-Language-Foundation/open-tamil/issues/181
