Remember that your 15KB code is pulling in all kinds of libraries --- this is why you can do so much with only a short script. If your program doesn't use Tkinter, you can shave a few megabytes off your distribution by removing the Tk DLLs. I think the py2exe wiki has more details here. Also, I have heard that the next version of py2exe will wrap everything up into a single executable. I don't know when it will be out, though. -- John. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
