Since you have picked up on Freeze I'll assume Luke was right and that you don't really want to make your program executable but that you want to create a self contained file that can be distributed without the need for the Python interpreter to already exist. Is that the case? If so its quite unusual on Linux since most Linux distros include Python as standard. Can you clarify why you think this will be needed? It will bring several disadvantages including a) wasted disk space since you will be packaging Python with your program even for users who already have it, b) limiting the use to one platform since the freeze version will only work on the platform you create it on, whereas python files wuill runon any machine with Python installed (assuming no non-portable code), c) maintenance becomes harder since you have to remember to refreeze the code after every bug fix etc. And then you have to ship/install a whole new package instead of a single fixed python file. There are valid reasons for doing this but these's a whole bunch of reasons not to as well... -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
