Distribute a wxPython App

wxPython Users

I have a decent little application that emulates the behavior of an
adding machine (so I can balance my checkbook without loading up a 20MB
spreadsheet program)

I would like to distribute it for testing. I have played a little bit
with py2exe for Windows and could use one of the free install utilities
I know to create an installation set for Windows. On Linux, however, I
know how to use .deb and .rpm files but have absolutely know knowledge
on how to create them. Nor do I have any background on adding menu
shortcuts to the 500lb gorilla GUI's of KDE and GNOME. Google has not
thus far presented much in the way of useful info.

Does anybody know of a site that talks about how to set up a decent
distributable of a python/wxPython app for *nix?

Thanks

You can try cx_Freeze. I don’t know if that’s powerful enough for your purposes, though.

Check out PyInstaller: http://pyinstaller.hpcf.upr.edu/cgi-bin/trac.cgi. (Full disclosure: I've only used it on Windows.) There's a pretty good newsgroup for it, if you have questions.
