is no more, but I found one link with the windows checkout... http://paulbaranowski.org/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=76

Currently there is no real means of hiding your source from those who have your compiled python applications. It is fairly trivial to go from byte code -> .py. You can bundle your application though, which will include an interpreter and all of the modules required to use it, that way they don't need to download everything.

hello, does anyone know if you can do something to the effect of compiling python so that it will act as a stand alone application - ie., can I write an application in python, create a wxpython interface and distribute it to my customers without them having to install python or anything else but my application? thanks. Jeff
