All true. This situation rather intrigues me at what I'll call a managerial level. I'm sympathetic to the possibility that Lory might have a life where compilation and script-launching and our other commonplaces are very remote; I salute him or her for recognizing that string permutation is indeed a feasible goal for a simple .EXE. I know *I* sometimes am in the situation of not having a useful Windows installation of a C compiler, or adequate Java environment, or ..., and I lean on the kindnesss o strangers at least temporarily. At the same time, there's little incentive for comp.lang.python to take on the burden of application development for transients in Pythonia. Lory, we can walk you through the "at least install Python" part Mr. Zenger mentions above in ten minutes; truly, it'll take less time than it would to negotiate delivery of a special-purpose executable for you. I remain curious: how'd you come to Python for your need? Is there some particular reason--most likely, that you're a potential Python student yourself--that we should help you? Is there a reason--that this is an assignment you're to do on your own?--that we should *not*? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
