I would much rather package everything as this is meant to be a stand-alone app, runable from anywhere (even a thumb drive on a computer on which you are a guest, like a hotel or library machine). It is not meant to install anything or copy any files, just run in memory and then close when the user decides to close. > > Bye, Enrico > -- > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list >
