Is there any tool to get an compiled python file ? cause i believed that the python interpreter takes care of that.

Google py2exe, it's a very simple to use utility to create executable files from your python scripts.

Python is not a compiled language ... so if you are saying 'build' in that sense then
there is nothing needed to 'build' python software. Its like scripting .. its interpreted at run time. If you are looking to build applications that can be executed with the mouse (double-clicked) then try py2exe (windows) or py2app (macosx) ... these are great for making your python program into a stand-alone program. If you are looking for something (text editor) just to write the programs in then there is the 'IDLE' interface which is fairly easy to manage (like notepad but with syntax highlighting and an option to 'run' the script) ... but I just use 'vi' ... it takes a bit of work to learn the keystrokes though .... others prefer 'emacs' .... again its like notepad but you can't
run the script from within the editor (unlike IDLE).

Hope this helps,

I use pyinstaller to build my python scripts. I wrote a python IDE a few months ago which has an automated spec and exe builder built into it, very easy to use, I still haven't gotten around to finishing it yet. I'll have a root around my harddrive for it and post it here later.

but yeah python is a scripting language, if you are looking to build small fast compact applications you want to distribute, I suggest you try a statically typed language like C++ or C# or if you want something more python like try http://boo.codehaus.or g/

I started writing this list because I wanted to have definite points to base a comparison on and as the starting point of writing something myself. After looking around, I think it would be a waste of time to start writing yet another IDE and so am now thinking in terms of new features/plug-ins for existing systems. Right now I mostly use Komodo Personal and it's pretty close to being what I want. They don't currently support plug-ins,...

First of all, I'm an Asian and I need to input Japanese, Korean and so on. I've tried many PHP IDEs today, but almost non of them supported Unicode (UTF-8) file. I've found that the only Unicode support IDEs are DreamWeaver 8 and Zend PHP Studio. DreamWeaver provides full support for Unicode. However, DreamWeaver is a web editor rather than a PHP IDE. It only supports basic IntelliSense (or code completion) and doesn't have anything...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
