In the past I have used the "freeze" method available in the tools section of the Python distribution for distributing binaries to those without Python. Just recently I started using DistUtils for compiling my C extension but unfortunately that breaks the freezing process if the extension module is going to be folded in to the resulting executable (rather than a standalone shared library). Before I go off and try to make this work, I was wondering if anyone knew if freezing was being planned for DistUtils. If so, what can I do to help, and if not, what ought to be replacing it? I suspect it shouldn't be too difficult to take the code that determines modules, compile them and generate C files, then use the DistUtils modules to actually compile the executable. But I don't want to do that if someone already has or there is something better to use. Comments anyone? Anthony
