Hi all,
Not that I'm much of a python programmer (just started using the
language), but I love having scriptable apps and thus would like to see
the system flourish inside Blender.
I know that there have been a lot of problems with the freeze process.
I was wondering if anyone had looked at the python 2.3 beta and it's
ability to use zip files full of .py / .pyc / .pyo files as a source
for the library. Apparently, it makes it as easy as:
sys.path.append("./blenderlib.zip")
or something to make it search zip files for "import" files. Also, the
zip would be transferrable across platforms, and could reside in the
app bundle on OSX. (As well, a zip of the standard python libs could
also be distributed with Blender on OSX, as the standard python is a
little weird.)
Thoughts?
