Well, google seems to disagree, but ok.
If you find it helpful to create your executable more manually, you could unzip the egg and __main__.py into a directory and then zip everything back up.
So, since this is all done by a python script, is there a hook in setuptools/setup.py where I can open the egg zipfile and do stuff to it as teh last step of bdist_egg? Or maybe I'll see if I can trick it with file_finders instead...
In this case I'm shipping the script for remote execution, I can configure the workflow engine to ship both egg and scriptfile. It would be a touch more convenient to roll the script inside the egg and ship just one file, but not worth the effort. However, I think runnable egg can be handy for dealing with python's version of dll hell.
