executing .pyc file

[Kevin Cazabon]

The trick I've always used on Windows is to distribute a separate .py
file that simply imported and executed the proper function in the .pyc
file.  You should be able to directly execute a .py file this way.

ex:

#!/user/bin/python
# .py file that can be freely distributed
if __name__ == "__main__":
    import myPycFile
    main = myPycFile.main()


I have no problem with that being in "readable" text, and it starts
the .pyc properly when called directly.

Kevin.
