it uses base64-encoded zlib-compressed pickled source code and a custom importer object. I've created a git repo on github: http://github.com/schmir/standalone-py.test You'll have to run the following commands in order to checkout and create a single file: ,---- | git clone git://github.com/schmir/standalone-py.test.git | python standalone-py.test/generate-single-file.py | cp standalone-py.test/py.test ~/bin/ `---- or you could download the script from: http://schmir.github.com/standalone-py.test/py.test I'm also attaching a patch against py-1.1.1.
