unattended install of python module .exe files

Question

I'm looking for a way to install a bunch of python modules in .exe format like:

ipython-0.13.1.py2-win32-PROPER.exe
scipy-0.12.0b1.win32-py2.7.exe
numpy-MKL-1.7.0.win32-py2.7.exe
pywin32-218.win32-py2.7.exe

I can install other modules by installing distribute and call pip from command-line, but I want to know if I can automate installs of .exe files - so users don't have to click buttons of 'next' 'okay'.

As you can imagine this has been asked before: https://mcmap.net/q/985953/-unattended-install-of-binary-python-packages-modules-for-windows/42346 Maybe something has changed since then..." – Soulful

Answer 1

well, this is indeed possible:

I used distribute's easy_install and everything worked like a magic.

just use easy_install [exeinstaller1] [exeinstaller2] ...

This will just work if the installer is a distutils exe. A failing example is the pysvn installer. – Horowitz
