[Tutor] Distributing Python Code for Commercial Porpoises?

[Wayne Watson]

Yes, porpoises was a (old) pun.

Back in Feb. I raised a question related to Subject. I just wanted to 
know if Python code could be compiled in some sense. Robert Berman 
pitched in with some help. Although I was making progress, I put it off 
for a future date. I really don't want to get into py2exe here, but am 
wondering if there are Python vendors who in some way sell their product 
in compiled form?

My intent though is really not to produce a commercial product. My 
question relates to difficulty my partner and I have to exchanging py 
programs w/o him stumbling. I send him a py program written using 
Windows Python 2.5. He has the same. I've executed it IDLE and it works 
fine. He executes, and it squawks per my post here on finding a version 
#, showing his output. We need to make sure we are on the same playing 
ground with numpy and scipy. I don't think we are. He barely knows 
Python, but did, supposedly, a install of it, numpy and scipy from the 
same written direction I use. I think he mistakenly installed a 
different version of numpy. So how can we make sure we or anyone are on 
the same playing field? Perhaps we should resort to command like 
execution. I am not confident that using py2exe will solve this problem. 
Is there a Python tool that provides some thorough description of a 
Python installation?
