[Tutor] Alternatives to PY2EXE

[Tim Golden]

[Chris Hengge]

| Because alot of the users here at Intel dont want to admit 
| you can write usable programs in a "scripting" language.. so 
| when they see a .exe they feel comfy... 

One option which could help there -- although your
other considerations might outweigh it -- is
Fredrik Lundh's exemaker:

http://effbot.org/zone/exemaker.htm

It doesn't bundle up Python in the way that py2exe
does: you still need to have python on the target
machine. But it does provide an .exe of your
program (which, behind the scenes, loads up the
Python dll in the same way that the python.exe
would have done in the first place).

Thst way, the .exe-comfortable user sees a .exe
without the extra work of py2exe/installer etc.
