A second question of the basic design. If I write a program, can I move it to a
computer that is without any Python software, or does that machine have to
download the Python software? Does Python products contain all parts of a
developed program or is it a series of 'call' statements?
You must either install a Python interpreter on that machine, or
distribute one with your program.
If only it was that simple. My Windows Python 3.4 installation comprises
5200 files over 1300 directories, totalling 100MB.
Other Pythons are a bit smaller, so I don't know what extras that
includes. Which is part of the problem: you have to employ yet more
extras to figure out the files needed to create a tidy distribution.
However the Linuxes I've seen tend to have Python pre-installed. Then
you can just supply the .py files of the application.
