Web2Py  is fantastic for packaging your application into a trial
version that can just be downloaded, unpacked and run - without
dependencies.  No other framework I'm aware of can do this.

The one snag is PIL.  The applications I write usually require an
imaging library.  I know that PIL is not pure python, and requires a
compile step because of the C code. But I have also been able to find
binary distributions for the platforms I've worked on - OS/X and
Windows.   I would think there is also a Linux binary distribution
available.  But, no problem there -- PIL has been available on the
Linux platforms I've deployed on (like webfaction).

If I'm reading the PIL license correctly on pythonware.com, it can be
distributed.  So, are there any technical difficulties or licensing
reasons why a PIL binaries should not be included in a distribution?

Thanks,
