statically linking the entire runtime (HPUX Python2.1)

[GADGIL PRASAD /INFRA/INFOTECH]

hello,

forgive me for ignorance, but I didnt know of creating a standalone exe from
a 
python prog on unix, I went all the way to rewrite a python code to C prog
cause, 
I needed to have a binary only. I guess, FAQ doesn't mention this. Utils I
guess
do something similar for win platforms like py2exe which I use.

Can a easy to follow procedure be posted by the knowledgable for those not
very 
proficient in handling C source compilations inolving make and whatnot.

I don't know specifically about HP-UX, but in general:
1: uncomment the modules you want in Modules/Setup
2: comment any "*shared*" terms in Modules/Setup
3: don't bother with setup.py, as its only for dynload modules
