One of the first things I wanted to do when I start learning Python was to produce a simple standalone application that I could distribute to my users (windows users). Python's moto is "Batteries Included", but where are the batteries for making exe files and making an installer file? I had to download, install and use py2exe and Inno Setup in order to accomplish this. I might be wrong expecting that a language whose moto is "Batteries Included" would be able to produce exe files. Are there plans to do this in the future version of Python?
