I've never done this before, but I have read about it a bit. The official Python docs talk about it (see below): http://www.python.org/doc/ext/embedding.html And this article talks about it briefly: http://www.developer.com/lang/other/article.php/2217941 Finally, I found an article that explains the difference between extending and embedding: http://twistedmatrix.com/users/glyph/rant/extendit.html Why do you want to embed it? If you're just distributing an application, you don't need to do embedding. You can just use py2exe. Mike Driscoll Applications Specialist MCIS - Technology Center 1 E.
