Stand-alones on the Mac?

[Siegfried Gonzi]

Dear Python (Mac) specialist,


I have developed some simulations (concerning optics diffraction) with
Yorick on the Mac. Now, I would like to make a shareware for amateur
astronomers concerning my simulations.

Someone told me that this could be possible with Python. I need the
numerical library (for the fast Fourier transforms) and a library where
I can make a hardcopy from the image (which I get after transforming) in
Postscript or GIF (is such one available for Python?) and maybe a
library for plotting x versus y diagrams, and a library for a very
simple graphical user interface.

Would it be then possoble to make a stand-alone application for the Mac?
Or should the end-user having installed every time Python?

I found nothing abaut that topic at www.python.org and the FAQs therin.
What I have found was something vague about the command freeze;but
nothing in detail. And I isntalled also the Mac version of Python and
also there I could not found anything about Python and stan-alones for
the Mac.

Because it would be impossible to make a stand-alone program with Python
for the Mac, so it is not my thing to port code to Python, because I can
further use Yorick (there it is also not possibility to make
stand-alones).


Regards and thanks for the answers,
