That's cool, I didn't know that, but shoot just another example where my lack of Python knowledge surfaces again. :( qt02537, is the above the kind of bundle you were talking about? If so, I'll have to change my vote to -1 instead. :D >Only partially. Leo expects to find certain files in file system >(leoSettings.leo, items under help menu) , instead of being bundled in >the .exe. With other Python apps, do they just not need to access the file system outside of the .exe? Is Leo unusual in this regard? > Leo already has an exe installer. On the plus side, the Leo .exe installer does find where Python is installed and can intelligently install itself to the site-packages directory. On the negative, it doesn't install any other required pieces, and it doesn't uninstall properly (the latter isn't too big of a deal since hopefully the user will keep Leo installed forever). But also, the .exe may be eliminated entirely (http:// preview.tinyurl.com/29ekrf3): "At present, the installer is not very useful. I may just kill the installer.
