I'm sorry. Maybe you misunderstanded. I know the great advanteges deriving by using interpretation too, I appreciate it very much (I'm newbie in Python and the interpeter really helps me out in many situations), but a 'pure' interpretated language needs obligatorily an interpreter and (sorry for repeating) this could be a problem for distribution (imho). Py2exe is surely a good compromise but it is not comparable to an executable file compiled, for example, in C for obvious sizing reasons (I never used PyInstaller. I surely try it out as soon as possible, but I didn't think that the output package size is too much different than py2exe one). For these reasons I think that an hibrid language that permits interpretation and compilation at the same time, should be a great advantage.
