Mike - Thank you VERY much! py2exe installed fine and I now have a working single-file executable that I can actually change the name of. Your website looks useful in general; I'll store it away for the next time I need to do Python programming on win32. Larry - I'm of the philosophy that very simple tools (as opposed to full applications) should not require installation, and if the tool is so simple as to not even require saving configuration/preference files (as mine is) it shouldn't even need its own directory. It should just be a simple, convenient, portable executable. I like the OS X .app file format (where the "application file" is merely a directory that behaves differently by executing the main program when you double- click it, instead of opening the directory) but it doesn't look like that will be adapted on Windows anytime soon, so short of making someone dump a bunch of inconvenient files someplace on their hard drive, a single executable is the most prudent choice, IMHO. Thanks, everyone, for your help! Cheers, Evan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
