Yes, and no. See below... > I want my little program to run on other peoples' computers, > without them having to install Python to use it. There are several ways to fake this, nearly all of them involve packaging your script with the Python interpreter and the minimum number of modules required by your code into a fairly large exe file. Another option is to use Jython and then compile your code to Java bytecode. The resultant program will work on any computer with a JVM installed. I believe the same can be done using IronPython - the .NET version of Python. > I've searched through tutorials and there doesn't seem > to be any information about this. Thats probably because the most common methods for producing an exe file are "non-trivial" to use, especially for newbies. Look up py2exe on Google...
