☆(´∀`)★Python exe★(,,゚Д゚)☆

Name: Anonymous 2007-03-13 9:12 ID:Twd0PfSI

So I have this Python application I made. The source files take up  about 32kB. I was looking into making this a standard Win32 executable, using py2exe. It works, but the whole package totals up to 14MB. That's a bit big, methinks. I'm using wxPython and some XML parsing doohickeys, but is there anyway I could optimise the file size?

True, Python and wxPython is easy to install, but I'm not sure my target audience are very interested in installing either of them. I do however think they might be interested in downloading a couple of megs of data for the luxury of doubleclicking an exe-file though.

And I will of course offer the source as an alternative for the people who are more tech-savvy.

As for >>2, I would, but it takes too much time. I can do major changes in short time in Python. Also Python happens to run on quite a few platforms, something that cannot be said about win32. Now if only Windows would come with Python preinstalled...
