Python setup.py installation and GitHub releases

[guoyunhe]

Hi, I see this is a really promising project. I wonder if I can package it for openSUSE/SLE. Usually Python applications have setup.py as installation script. It makes packaging easy. Also GitHub releases is also useful for packaging. Package maintainers can watch releases to update their packages.

Thanks for the great work!

It is!
AUR needs this. I'll try to package it in the meantime.

Hello thanks for the effort. The setup.py is misleading and will be renamed to "setupUi.py" since it converts the QT5 ui form to pyqt bindings. It is not a setup.py in a pythonic way someone expect. I tried packaging this as a pip package with setup.py but failed miserable, any help would be much appreciated. I will try to create a setup.py again and see if it works.

Done! There's now an AUR package.
Waiting for setup.py now (this will ease the installation).

Any updates on this?

I tried to package this with pyinstaller but ran into Problems with PyQt, I am still trying to package this as a flatpak or to begin with in any one file executable. Any community help is much appreciated in order to get a proper format out with Yin-Yang 3.0 which should be released on 10.4

good news on this, I managed to package it as a one-file-executable which basically is the same as a appimage however it does not feature to create a .desktop file neither a correct Desktop entry. I created this using PyInstaller. In order for correct installation I still would like to go the package manager route and package this up for each distribution. Right now I can only offer the Yin-Yang singlefile executable without any installer.
