man this is great news, and thanks for the link. yes an .exe would hit the spot, because they will also have to have the mysql libs installed. i don't want them to have to down load a bunch of "dependencies"
thanks for the tips, shawn On 1/29/07, Jarek Zgoda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

During last 2 years I developed my PyGTK app on Windows, because I had only intermittent access to Linux machine. The only drawback is somewhat ugly look on unstyled Windows (i.e. on W2k), but things get much better with PyGTK 2.10.x. Distribution might be a bit of hassle, but people from Gajim project ( http://www.gajim.org/) do this succesfully, so it's perfectly possible. Cheers Jarek Zgoda
