<P><FONT SIZE=2>Despite the fact that it got extremely big (but i wasn't expecting less when i started) it got pretty clumsy for what i had in mind. I was hoping for something like a 10Mb-single-exe-file kinda of result :)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I belive cx_freeze didn't did much because i had no small includes. just the huge ones like Tk.</FONT>
