    Python

    hey, i downloaded python 2.2 and started programming in it in honor of my new 8 foot burmese python.
    anyway...
    ive made a few programs and it has come to my understanding that i cannot make executable files in python!
    in order to distribute my software, I need to cram 20 mg's worth of modules along with my .py file! this is nuts.
    am i getting the right idea? does anyone know how to make python programs into executables?
    thanks

    That would be the nature of interpeted languages.

    1.1. What is Python?
    Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language.

    She was so Blonde, she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice can because it said "Concentrate."

    When in doubt, read the FAQ.
    Then ask a smart question.

    May as well use Java instead!

    4.28. How can I create a stand-alone binary from a Python script.
