Building a Distribution

To build a distribution, run:

python build_dist.py <python 2.6 path> <python 2.7 path>

This script will:

• Generate source distribution packages in .tar.gz and .zip formats
• Generate Python eggs for Python 2.6 and 2.7
• Generate binary installers for Windows x86 and x64 (if run on Windows)
• Generate a demo distribution package in .zip format.
• Re-generate keyword documentation in doc folder

Note: The Windows installers will only be built if the script is run on a Windows machine. If the rest of the distribution has been built on a non-Windows machine and you want to build just the Windows installers, use the --winonly flag:

python build_dist.py --winonly <python 2.6 path> <python 2.7 path>

Building Keyword Documentation

The keyword documentation will get built automatically by build_dist.py, but if you need to generate it apart from a distribution build, run:

python doc/generate.py
