We'll be talking about the various ways you can package and distribute your Python applications and modules. When it comes time to distribute your Python creations to the world, you have a lot of options. We'll help you wade through some of them to figure out what will work best for you.

• Jace Browning (http://www.meetup.com/grpython/members/19020511/) will talk about standard source-based distribution from PyPI (https://pypi.python.org/pypi) using distutils/setuptools (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools).

• Matt Behrens (http://www.meetup.com/grpython/members/18082551/) will talk about bdist_rpm (http://docs.python.org/2.7/distutils/builtdist.html#creating-rpm-packages), the easiest way to get from setup.py to RPM, including where to find all the elusive hooks you need.

• Adam Tauno Williams (http://www.meetup.com/grpython/members/2306161/) will talk about eggs, which are an easy_install-able single-file distribution method for Python modules, applications, and meta-data.

• Ben Rousch (http://www.meetup.com/grpython/members/5393360/) will talk about PyInstaller (http://www.pyinstaller.org/), which is a module for creating a stand-alone executable or program bundle of your program.

If you have experience with wheels, DEBs, or compiled DMGs, we'd love to have you talk about your experience at this meeting.
