I have knows python for about 3-4 months. My knowledge is still very limited.
I wrote a small app using wxPython. Now, I want to create an installer for it (on Linux platform.) for the people I developed this small utility.
These people use some customized variant of Red Hat Linux. I found on the web python2.4 and the corresponding wxPython files.
How can I write a Installer file which will install all the needed programs in the correct path, so that my wxPython app is ready to run and end user doesn’t need to bother installing required files.
Give me some pointers and I will try to write the script on my own.

Probably the easiest thing to do is to make a RPM of your app, and provide it and the RPMs for Python and wxPython. If you want to make a bundle that includes everything then look at the cx_Freeze tool.

cx_freeze has a mailing list. You should ask them about cx_freeze
related issues.

Any clues how can go about successfully installing and using cx_freeze

How can I make an rpm of my python/wxPython app ? Any clues.
The way I learned about building RPMs was to find an RPM that does something similar to what I wanted and then copied the .spec file and tweaked it. You'll also want to read the man pages for rpm and rpmbuild, as well as the RPM book, which is available online in a few places.

If you can get it to produce output that doesn't clobber your Python
installation (I have had issues with bdist_wininst when using data_files),
then go for it.
Remember to test!

I used the distutils to create .rpm file within the python. Any comments if
its good or bad ?
