There are some nice launchers with icons in the root directory of winpython. When customizing winpython to include my own packages, I want to create a few more launchers like these for my app, but don't know how to proceed. It would be great if some instructions can be provided. Thanks!

well, it's nullsoft installer thing, as I didn't find a simpler alternative. and so it's not painless.
see https://github.com/winpython/winpython/blob/master/make.py#L505..L567 for usage.

maybe you can just hack the ".bat" embedded in a given icon, to get new launcher (with unfortunately same image as original (as the launcher itself does really nothing else, now)

in a side note, you MUST have an updated Windows 10 and activate the "long path option" (more than 260 characters), to be able to build WinPython with Jupyterlab.
(a javascript step "uglify" play with 300 characters, or more, path)

procedure:

  • run regedit.exe as administrator
  • go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem]
  • change value of [LongPathsEnabled] (DWORD) from "0" to "1"
  • reboot.
