[Assuming that was a question.] py2exe just bundles up the files needed to run the program. The result runs pretty much the same as it did when it was "unbundled". By default, py2exe combines some stuff in a zip file, so that might slow down startup by a tiny amount. If you don't like that, you can tell py2exe not to "zip" things up, and then the program runs pretty much identically as did the unbundled version. > I was under the impression that it's really not that bad. py2exe doesn't really have any impact on the program's perfromance. It's still the same Python VM running the same bytecode using the same library files. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!
