py2bat (was: How do I make a Python .bat executable file?)

[Christian Schaller]

Hello...

  I was just reading the above thread and didn't find any program to do
this task automatically.  However, there exists a similar tool for perl,
so I took a closer look at that one.

  After some experiments I came up with a solution that suits for my
needs.  Please don't tell me that anyone else has done that already, I
couldn't find anything on python.org.  Any comments, suggestions?

bye
  Chris...
