Stef, What Adam is talking about has nothing to do with windows or *nix. He's talking about packing one or more .py files into a single archive, which can be imported just like the regular .py files. This means you can distribute a whole bunch of module files/dirs as a single .pyc file. It just makes it easier to have a single file to distribute rather than a whole bunch, or a zip that one has to unzip into a certain directory, &c. So you can have myscript.py + myscriptfiles.pyc vs. myscript.py + somedepdir/ + someotherdepdir/ + somedepfile.py...&c.
If you still don't get it, you don't need it. Regards, Jordan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
