If your C++ file is so small, then maybe you should not embed a Python interpreter in it, but rather allow it to be compiled as a Python module. Just write a Pyrex or Python C/API wrapper for it, and include a build for the Python module. -- Terry Hancock ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Anansi Spaceworks http://www.AnansiSpaceworks.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Usage is very easy. Also, read the FAQ and knowledge base entirely if you want to make pretty slick installers.

I know that py2exe can convert a Python script into an EXE file, however, I have no Python script.

Python as an extension language
Hallöchen! I'd like to use Python as an extension language for a C++ program. I.e., the user starts my program and gives a python script, either by file name or via stdin. The python script triggers a couple of function calls within the C++ program, and afterwards my program exits. I already know how to do that in principle. My only concern is distributing the thing, especially for the Windows platform. Is it possible to create a bundle of my program and a light-weight Python interpreter, so that installation is easy and disk usage relatively small? The Python scripts are not supposed to import modules after all, at least not explicitly.
