NSIS Python Plugin

Here is a little plug-in I have found while touring the internet:

You use the Nullsoft NSIS installer and want some advanced scripting or you're deploying a Python application and want to execute some Python code during setup? Here is a solution. With this NSIS Plugin you can do all this.

Supported commands are eval, exec and execFile. a special module nsis is exposed to Python which supports writing to the log, display a message box and get/set the NSIS variables. The win32 parent handle of the installer can also be read so its open for extensions that use win32all or ctypes.

Very interesting... me runs to investigate!

btw.. who was touring the internet? the plugin? you? both? 😁

It is a smart plug-in! 😁
