pywix 0.2.1

Thin wrapper for WiX modelled on pypandoc.

For python applications that need to generate windows installer packages, there are two options that I know of: the builtin msilib, which is greatly underdeveloped, and this package.

This package wraps go-msi, which is an existing MSI framework that allows simple generation of windows installers. go-msi was chosen because it already does the hard work, allowing this package to have a tiny footprint.

Most of the code in this package focuses on detecting and installing go-msi and its dependency, the WiX toolset. The principle current use of this package is subzero.
