Patty, why do you need the library.zip file ? I had the impression that the .so files do not need to be distributed. In other words, that the strength of cx_freeze is that it can provide a stand-alone binary file that can be executed, and which does not need to uncompress during runtime any .zip files or anything like that. At least that's what it seems to me to be doing.
Is this the case ? Another question, how does cx_freeze help protect the source code distributed ? For example, does it prepare in its packaging only .pyc files and ensures only those are distributed, or does it provide in the final binary the source code in .py files ?
