I don't think this can possibly work. If the zipfile contains the Python interpreter, it can't possibly work on all platforms - the Python interpreter is run as native machine code of the respective CPU. So either you drop the requirement that the zipfile must be cross-platform, or you drop the requirement that the Python interpreter is included in the zipfile. Notice that Mac OS *.app dirs are *not* cross-platform, either - they only work on Mac OS. Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
