[NF] Python/Dabo application packaging options

Yep. You can make your Python apps look just like a VFP app on Windows. But like anything new, you need to walk before you run. Check out the Dabo Wiki and look at some of the web casts. Jeff Jeff Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] SanDC, Inc. 623-582-0323 Fax 623-869-0675 Vince Teachout wrote:

py2exe is only a packager that allows you to use Python in an exe kind of like a FoxPro exe. You can use .py scripts with the Python libraries just like you can run .prgs with the VFP runtimes. Take a look at pythonw.exe for the command window problem:
