+1\. The new embeddable Python distribution for Windows is a great step
forward for this. It's not single-file, but it's easy to produce a
single-directory self-contained application with it. I don't know if
there's anything equivalent for Linux/OSX - maybe it's something we
should look at for them as well (although the whole "static binaries"
concept seems to be fairly frowned on in the Unix world, from what
I've seen).
