Python compiling to .exe
You mean like py2exe? http://www.py2exe.org/
Bah I'am a idoit for not reading all the py2exe docs. I found out py2exe was able to do it. It creates one EXE, which temporarily unpacks the components that have be in separate files for Windows to find them. When you terminate the program, the files are removed. You will need to edit the setup.py slightly.
import py2exe, sys, os
sys.argv.append('py2exe')
setup(
options = {'py2exe': {'bundle_files': 1}},
windows = [{'script': "yourapp.py"}],
zipfile = None,
)
