Known usage of Mercurial with py2exe ?

[Becker, Mischa J]

I haven't installed Mercurial directly on Windows since I started using TortoiseHg. My installs happen however they do it.

Hello,

I'm working on improving and simplifying Mercurial setup.py file and more generally Mercurial Python packaging system.

A lot of lines in setup.py are related to using py2exe to build a standalone application on Windows.

py2exe (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://github.com/py2exe/py2exe__;!!J-PWDud9Isc!gbDYK3lpN43N1eCcotFT35BuNWP082TUFFz1LrihnfyUWwJ4HRlN7P7YUaz0yKdPrL_ejLE0opvz5efsC3aVdim1Y3hercLMt2tO0MP9$ ) is still in active development and has adapted to more modern Python packaging. Using py2exe in a setup.py is now deprecated and now another script should be used.

I'd like to ask if anyone on this list still using Mercurial with py2exe or is aware of any py2exe usage? If yes, what is the advantage nowadays? Especially when Mercurial is going to upload wheels for Windows (should be soon), installing with pipx should be very easy also on Windows and it seems to me that it would lead to a cleaner installation.

Pierre
