It is - py2exe embeds python bytecodes. It seems it does it in the "library.zip" file (if I'm reading http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/moin.cgi/Py2Exe correctly). Bytecode files extracted should be decompilable to something resembling original python code by a python decompiler (quick Googling finds "decompyle": http://www.crazy-compilers.com/). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
