I don't know what 'dev_main' is, but if you're asking, "can I have an .exe
that runs my development code?", then the answer is yes.  Use "setup.py
develop".  It will install script .exe's and stub .py files to the target
directory, but the actual code that's run by the .exe  will be your
original source code.  Any changes you make to the source will take effect
the next time you run that exe.
