.py to binary

[Marco Terzuoli]

Hi,
I would like to convert a .py file into a stand-alone executable, so that
anyone can run it without having to install the python interpreter. I know
there is a py2exe program for Windows, but I would like to do the same for
Linux. Is it possibile or Linux only allow to use python scripts?
Thanks for helping,
Marco

A large portion of RPM code is written in Python, so any RPM distro (Red
Hat, SuSE, Mandrake...) should have Python installed by default. I think
Debian might too, so you shouldn't worry about making an installer.

Take a look at freeze.py. It is located in Tools/freeze in the
Python source distribution.
