  http://www.mcmillan-inc.com/installer_dnld.html

Changes in 5b5:
  Bug fixes:
    * Works with Python 2.3
    * A --onefile always uses a temporary directory (no conflicts between
       multiple copies)
    * A --onefile cleans up under any but the most extreme circumstances
    * reload works properly
   Enhancements:
    * Can UPX your executables (and DLLs on Windows), if installed.
    * Improved COM Server support from Mark Hammond. 

Platforms:
  Windows
  Linux
  Unix (relying on volunteers)

Python versions:
  Python 1.5 to 2.3

What is it:
  The Installer package is any easy way to deploy
   Python apps to systems without Python installed 
   (or with incompatible Pythons installed).

   Installer support single-file and single-directory
   deployments. On Windows, Installer supports
   COM, including in-process COM servers.
