most linux these days already have a python interpreter
installed so i think the simplest (simplistic) method
would be send the *.py or *.pyc file/s .
( i follow this way when i give little apps to my friends )

i you want to ensure that the host machine has
python ( or the right relase of it ) you can write
a bash script that
1) install python
2) install your program [this part can be done in python itself]

Maybe youre right, but the applicatiobn runs under embedded linux, so the size
of your applikation is another argument :-(

Python 2.4 final will probably be released in a few hours so this seems like a good time to release the standalone email package, version 3.0 final.

If you need to support earlier versions of Python, stick with email 2.5.5. For documentation (until Fred flips the "current" docs...

Hello All, I am trying to create a semi-standalone with the vendor python on OS X 10.4 (python 2.3.5).

Hi list, Is there a preferred way to distribute programs that depends on third party modules like PyQt, Beautifulsoup etc? I have used setuptools and just having the setup script check for the existence of the required modules. If they're not found I have it exit with a message that it need this or that installed. But this is not very convenient for the end user and I have got a few complaints about it. Am I missing something in...

Hello everyone, I like to create a cross-platform standalone python application, like Mac OS *.app dirs. The idea is to distribute a zip file containing everything (the python interpreter and all) so that a user just unzips it and runs it. Has anyone ever done anything like that? I searched google but didn't find anything really, and currently, even in my dev env, I have to set the PYTHONPATH manually, and for a standalone app I...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
