Can I write a binary windows executable with Python?

[walterbyrd]

I have heard about Pysco. But does create a single executable that can
run without Python being installed? Or does that just compile the
libraries?

Hi,

What you're probably referring to is py2exe tool (http://www.py2exe.org/) which
creates windows executable programs out of python scripts. Once created,
such executable can be run on a Windows machine without Python installed.

Psyco, on the other hand, is a tool that greatly optimizes and
increases execution
speed of python scripts.

Psyco is a kind of JIT (just in time) optimizer for Python. It's limited
to i386 compatible CPUs (aka X86 architecture). It has nothing to do
with standalone executables.

You are lookin for py2exe. It's a program which creates standalone
bundles of Python applications. The bundles contains the python core
library, a startup executable and all additional dlls and Python
scripts. The bundle runs w/o an installed Python interpreter.
