I work on windows platforms and I have a collection of C routines that are distributed via a DLL. These routines have embedded python calls. Currently I have to distribute the python modules separately from the C DLL. Is there a way using distutils for me to combine the python scripts with the C code in the C DLL so that all I have to distribute is my C DLL along with the pythonxx.dll?

You could create a zipfile from the modules you need, and append the zipfile to your C dll. Then, add the pathname of your dll to sys.path somewhere in your init code, and zipimport should do the trick. At least in principle ;-) Thomas
Not even in principle. I've done exactly that for some our applications and it works very well. cx_Freeze (http://starship.python.net/crew/atuining) is what I have been using but I wouldn't be surprised if py2exe can handle this as well. Thomas Heller wrote:

The py2exe tool might be what you're looking for. I've been using it for a while now to simplify the distribution of a project with embedded python modules and it's working out pretty well. The associated wiki page contains some information on how to use py2exe to assist in the deployment of embedded projects. py2exe: http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/py2exe/ wiki: http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/moin.cgi/Py2Exe Tom On Thursday 02 December 2004 8:29 am, Terry Ware wrote:
