Thanks for reminding me about the licence, but since I'm probably just going to mail this stuff around to people I know I don't think that will be a problem, and if I ever put anything for download on the 'net I always put up the source as well :)
And you are right, a zip, even a self-extracting one, is not what I want ;) The last page Laura linked to does seem to be what I want though, I just have to see if I can automate it a bit more :) //Tobbe On 5/28/07, Dave LeCompte (really) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

One thing to bear in mind is that LGPL-licensed libraries (e.g. PyGame, PGU) have restrictions on how they can be distributed. By leaving the libraries separate, the users can replace the LGPL libraries with versions they compiled themselves. If you create a single EXE, you have to go to extra lengths to comply with the LGPL, like documenting where the source code for your EXE may be downloaded, so that the users may make modifications of the libraries. Here's one thread about LGPL from a few years ago: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/pygame-users/2814491 And a GNU webpage discussing LGPL: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html For me, I just make a ZIP or RAR archive, and if I really want to save my friends that extra few clicks, I'll make it a self-extracting archive. That's probably pretty close to being an installer, which you said you don't want. -Dave LeCompte
