Yes. py2exe is a tool which generates such Windows executables: http://www.py2exe.org/ (It's the first Google hit for "python executable windows", FYI; Google is your friend!) Most *nix (and Linux distros in particular) come with Python preinstalled and/or have savvy users, so the matter of obtaining an interpreter is almost a non-issue on those platforms. For Mac OS X, there's py2app. Cheers, Chris -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
