ANNOUNCING: mxCGIPython Version 0.2.0 Setup scripts to build one-file easy-to-install Python interpreters
From the web-page:
If you are in the CGI scripting business, then you know how hard it can sometimes be getting the sysadmins to install Python for you. I ran into such situations a few times. Fortunately it's not a big problem, if you can get a grip on a pre-compiled binary for the machine the ISP is running. Since installing a complete package with many files through a FTP-only connection is not exactly fun, we need something different here. This were the freeze tool can help: with it you can wrap the interpreter together with the whole standard library and the builtin modules into one single file. All that remains is to FTP that binary to the ISP and off you go. Ok, so much for the theory. Now where do you get that pre-compiled binary from ? That's where this campaign starts... I encourage everybody on this list and in the news group to have a look at this package and help build a library of pre-compiled single file interpreters. This would certainly help a lot of CGI writers out there in making a decision whether to use Python or Perl...
