They are minor and have only to do with the program being able to know where it is installed, etc.
You can't really "compile" Python code, it is an interpreted language. You can use an extension called py2exe that packages up python code with a .exe file and a couple of support files and that package can be installed on a computer with minimal or no registry or system file modifications. -Larry Bates -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
