Yes, and to complete it: The append trick *does* work on Unix. And a resource like management of things could be written with Python, defining our own resources. Why care about an OS?
[Jim ponders the append trick...] OK, a really simple idea is to do this: cat python.exe string.pyc site.pyc > myprog.exe That is, just append a bunch of *.pyc to the executable. Anybody can do that. Then make the import mechanism be able to find them. So, look for the *.pyc magic numbers. To recover the module names, use the base file name of the code object attribute co.co_filename. Same with Python15.dll, append *.pyc to it too. Jim Ahlstrom
