Why do they all need to have outside dependencies?
If you are distributing your application on Windows (which is what your original post implied), then you can easily roll up dependencies with py2exe / Gui2Exe and something like Inno Setup or NSIS. I'm going to try to compile the crypto package (http://www.amk.ca/python/code/ crypto) into an installer for 2.5, but no promises. Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
