No. First, it works on Windows, Linux and Irix only, not on arbitrary *nix systems. Second, it doesn't create a single executable, but depends on the extension modules that the host Python interpreter uses. To compile a simple "print 'Hello, world'" with Python 2.5 on Debian, I get an executable consisting of 22 binaries. Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
