(Details I forgot to mention: the script would be in __main__.py inside the zipped application file, and it would need to change sys.path[0], because sys.path[0] will be the .pyz file itself; it should replace it with the directory containing the .pyz file before doing anything else. That would be the correct way to simulate the existing .exe approach.) _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
