Re: PyGObject on Windows only with MINGW?

[Jerome Flesch <jflesch kwain net>]

Hello,


Actually, MSYS2 is just a development environment. Binaries produced 
using MSYS2 can be used on systems without MSYS2.

Anyway, if you just want to use the official Python installation from 
python.org and PyGobject without installing MSYS2, you may want to have 
a look at this project: https://sourceforge.net/projects/pygobjectwin32/ 
. Just beware that the packages included are less up-to-date than those 
in MSYS2.

Now if you want to distribute an application, this may be a bit more 
tricky as you probably also want to embed and distribute the Python 
interpreter and any other dependencies you need. I assume you will also 
want to generate an executable file. I've found 2 ways to do that up to 
now:
- either an official Python installation + pygobjectwin32 + pyinstaller 
(easier way)
- or using MSYS2: cx_freeze to create the executable (harder, but allow 
more flexibility and access to more recent versions of packages)


Currently I'm using the last approach for 2 of my projects. You can have 
a look at how I did here:
