How do I turn a python program into an .egg file?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Setuptools is the software that creates .egg files. It's an extension of the distutils package in the standard library.

The process involves creating a setup.py file, then python setup.py bdist_egg creates an .egg package.

Also, if you need to get an .egg package off a single .py file app, check this link: EasyInstall - Packaging others projects as eggs.
