In case you really just want to run your Python programs on computers without Python installed, there are several tools that will create a myprogram.exe from your myprogram.py. These tools don't make machinecode executables. Instead, they basically bundle python.exe, your program and whatever is needed into an single .exe-file. Google for e.g. py2exe or cx_freeze. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
