That's one way of doing it :).

I've never looked specifically at PySol, but Python doesn't get 
"compiled" in the classic sense of the word. The ready to run package 
most likely contains a Python interpreter and whatever other third party 
libraries PySol employs, but *also* the source code.

Install all required third-party packages as well as Python on your 
machine en just start the application using "python appname.py" (where 
appname is the name of the main python file).
