Thanks for that Lewis.

I have a simple question: why isn't there a simple one file installation 
.exe for Windows? 

I realize that to use this for python development, one would need python 
installed, and to create a gui application, one would need PyQT or some 
other graphic package.
But if I just wanted to use it as a PIM or to write documentation, or a 
dozen other uses, I shouldn't need python installed.

I plan to use python to create a Windows desktop application to use at work 
and to deploy to other business analysts, most of whom have little or no 
programming experience. There is simply no way I could get them or 
management to accept a program that needs the kind of installation overhead 
that Leo requires. I doubt very few other python-based applications could 
get any traction if they had a similar overhead.

I've been thinking of the trials of trying to get Leo working as a sort of 
entrance exam.  You don't get to play unless you're really committed and 
have a lot of development experience going in.

Is it the built-in functionality that requires a separate python and QT 
that would not be possible as a simple standalone application?  
Could there be a simpler version that doesn't allow the advanced 
development, and an advanced version that does?

Could Leo be structured like PyCharm or any other IDE where you simply 
install the package and then update the settings to point to the python 
installation you want to use?

Thanks.
