Sounds like a bad idea. It makes the bundled app dependent on the content of the user's system. Suppose that's a different level of Python -- 3.x when the program is 2.x (or vice versa), or simply 2.6 when the developer expected 2.7? When everything is bundled, there is no doubt about compatibility. A whole family of possible trouble reports is eliminated. Second, the developer now has to make TWO binary distributions (per target platform!). One small one that uses local libpython, but another bigger one for the user who has not installed python. Or else you have to require the user to install python, which for many users is a stumbling block. Stay with the model that a bundled app is complete and stand-alone. "Here, take my app and run it. No command line. No other website to visit. Only the one download. Just unzip it and go." This is a beautiful advantage. Who cares about an extra few megabytes? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PyInstaller" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
