Very short homepage, I know, but more content will be added ASAP.

Keep in mind

It's in early stage development so no warranty, no liability, provided 'as is' etc...

What is it ?

bdist_nsi extends Python distutils's command to produce package installers/uninstallers using the OSI software NSIS and this way, give all the benefits of NSIS to package installers (silent install, MUI, internationalization...)

In action

Take a look at the screenshot

What you need

Beside Python and the bdist_nsi module itself, you will need NSIS
It can be run under W32 and GNU/Linux (see NSIS forum for instructions)

How you install it

Very first pre-alpha version for testing purpose is available here

Trying it out

Just type "python setup.py bdist_nsi" instead of your usual "python setup.py bdist_wininst"
look at "--nsis-dir" option if the nsis executable is not on your path or just add "-k" to have a look at the temporary generated files
