Why C? Implement it in Python and freeze the sucker. We all know that Python is much more maintainable. With a few simple changes, we can also make this freeze process very straight-forward and part of the standard build process.

There are quite a few things that could be done in Python, then just frozen into the binary. Just wait until I start arguing for the parser and compiler to be written in Python, frozen in, and we dump their C equivalents... :-)

I agree completely. We need the ability to freeze in Python code easily without damaging the user's ability to use freeze too. Lets get this fixed right instead of just writing more C. JimA
