Deploying Commercial PyQt4 Applications
=======================================
Deploying commercial PyQt4 applications can be a complicated process for a
number of reasons:
- It is usually better not to rely on pre-requisite packages being already
installed on the user's system. This means that as well as your application
code, you also need to include the Python interpreter, the standard library,
third-pary packages and extension modules, and Qt itself.
- Some target platforms (iOS for example) have restrictions on how an
application is built in order for it to be included in app stores.
- It is necessary to discourage users from accessing the underlying PyQt4
modules for themselves. A user that used the modules shipped with your
application to develop new applications would themselves be considered a
developer and would need their own commercial PyQt4 license.
The recommended solution to all of these issues is to use `pyqtdeploy
