Hi all and thanks for the replies. Apparenlty I managed to make the standalone application with bbfreeze (used directly), I still have to tune a little bit how it can pack in it also classes which are loaded dynamically, and which from a static examination of the code are not found then... I'll try to give a look at GUI2Exe also, thank you for the suggestion. Regards, Alessio Pace. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
