In that case, and since you appear to be running on Windows (judging by the headers in your post), look for "py2exe". You may also want to use InnoSetup or another free installer, since py2exe does the packaging you want but doesn't bundle the files all together for easy installation. Py2exe plus InnoSetup is a very widely used and appreciated combo. -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
