I hadn't realised how easy it is to access alternate data streams from
Python. A filename
On Windows NTFS file systems, you can add data to a file using named streams.
The extra streams aren't visible from Explorer so the average end-user won't

I think you are overestimating the cost of bandwidth. By the time it
becomes an issue, you've sold so many units of software, and people are
using your pr
You can always use pickle. Have a script that reads your folder with
the media, insert the images and sounds into arrays or your own special
classes then use pickle to dump them to a .dat file. The user gets just

That cgi idea is really cool, but I don't have any web space to host
the files. Plus the bandwidth required would be deadly. I think I'll
