I don't have an immediate answer for you on sharing scripts but our next beta release (due real, real soon now) will support running the generated EXEs. If your test imports any modules written in Python you'll still need to have those around and on your sys.path, but otherwise this will work.
Also, IronPython does also include a compiler that can generate a set of scripts into a single stand alone EXE, but at this time we haven't exposed this functionality via the command line yet (and therefore you'd need to write your own front end for it). You can of course access this functionality from Python code with: from IronPython.Hosting import PythonCompiler which is how we currently test it. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Catherine Devlin Sent: Wednesday, January 25, 2006 11:14 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [IronPython] Fwd: Where to share a script / executables (again) Hi! I've just created my first IronPython script - a little utility for conveniently cleaning the garbage out of your PATH and related environment variables. I posted it in my blog at http://catherinedevlin.blogspot.com/2006/01/cleanpathpy-ironpython-utility.html Anyway, I'd like to share it somewhere publicly, but I really don't know where a little item like this should go. It's too long to be trivial, but at 119 lines, but too small (119 lines) to be considered a "project" for SourceForge or whatnot. And do we have a special place for sharing IronPython scripts? I don't see any IronPython projects at SourceForge... is there a story behind that? Can anyone suggest a good place to share scripts like this? Also, for the sake of the unwashed masses without IronPython, I'd like to generate an executable .exe. I can't find instructions on how to do that, though. Running my script with ironpythonconsole automatically generates an .exe, but running that just gives "... is not a valid Win32 application." (Greg Chapman asked about this on Jan. 5, too, but I didn't see him getting an answer.) Is there any more information on generating free-standing executables?
