Except that distutils doesn't have very much support for doing applets or applications. So it's logical to see why most posts which ask the same question, often go unanswered there. Probably better to try on comp.lang.python which is more general. There's perhaps a lot more real world experience available there. I think this little sub-thread has been about some excellent progress that was started to put an applet or script in a 'zip' box. I think you've hit upon some work that has been done which is just past the development status. It is waiting for better documentation so that its' use can be more widespread. >>> Are there any best practices I should keep in mind if I intend >>>> to distribute my work? Make sure it has a nice splash screen.. a test suite.. and try to run various code analysis tools like cheesecake over it.. haha Well 'best practices' definitely means comp.lang.python is the best list.. unless you can help us all to figure out how to get this wonderful 'zip box' applet support into a form that is more ready for developers to start using. I think it needs more tests, more examples, more documentation to show what a wonderfully useful thing it could be.
