Maybe py2exe can help you.

I assume you are on Windows? Let's assume you have a file stuff.py
that reads:

import os
print os.listdir('.') # list current directory, good enough for
testing...

Then, insert the following line at the top:

@setlocal enableextension s & python -x %~f0 %* & goto :EOF

Now save this file as stuff.cmd somewhere along your PATH. Now calling
'stuff' should execute your file.
On Linux, you would instead insert the shebang line that points to
your python interpreter, such as

#!/usr/bin/python

at the top and also set the executable bit, but I suppose if you use
Linux at all you know that.

Cool! I'd enclose the first argument in quotes "%~f0" - in case the path
contains any whitespace.

Doh! I'm new to Linux and so I didn't know that, thanks!
One small snag though, it doesn't work on my system :-(
I did both steps, the shebang and the execute bit but nada...

r0g@steppa:~/Desktop/py$ ls
kickstart.py kickstart.py~ kicktest.py kicktest.py~
r0g@steppa:~/Desktop/py$ kickstart.py
bash: kickstart.py: command not found

Any ideas why this might be? A path thing? I'm on Ubuntu 8.04 / Py2.5

Thanks,

Roger.

Yes.

A path thing?

Yes.

Linux systems generally don't have the current directory in the
PATH that's searched for executbles (it's regarded as a rather
serious security problem if you do).

Try doing this:

./kickstart.py

Brilliant! :D Thanks v.much for that, turns out the very same thing had
been driving me nuts a few days earlier when I was trying to run an
installer I had downloaded, bit of an Izzard Printer moment LOL -
