Ya, I thought of that... However...
- It would be nice to be able to execute it directly (i.e,. click
on it).
You can't, "execute" a directory.
- It would be more work to send as an email attachment.
- I thought it was a cool idea, and had hoped someone else had
figured
out how to do it.
In my case, I have a bunch of data to plot, and I'd like to be able
to send
both the data and a program to view and manipulate the data. When the
recipient is done, they have the option of deleting the one file and
there's
no mess. It got me thinking of lots of other things the general
paradigm
would work for (i.e., my address book example).
As someone else suggested, you could send a single .py file that
creates a default database if it doesn't find one in the current
directory (or ~/.your_app or a directory of your choosing). Does that
give you most of what you want?

So far so good. The problem, is that I need the python app and the
sqlite db file to exist in the same disk file. This way the app to
access the data and the data are in the same file.
Would having the app and the data file in the same directory
satisfy your
use case just as well? You could move the directory around just as
well as
you could move the file.
