I don't think that there is one, or that there should be one. If you care about the feature (i.e. provide a single executable of your application), you should contribute to maintenance of freeze. Maybe there is only a few of you (because people typically assume that Python comes preinstalled with *nix, so why would you have to redistribute the interpreter?), but then, maintenance of freeze doesn't take that much effort, either. > I'm looking for something that, like freeze, > turns my application into a single-file executable, of the smallest > size possible, that can be executed on a machine with no Python > installation or development system. Please understand that it's not freeze that nobody cares about anymore - it's this specific use case that nobody cares about anymore. You must have a very odd collection of target systems if you can't assume that a Python binary is provided by the system vendor. In that case, consider giving back to the community, and contribute any patches to freeze that you may find necessary. Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
