Protecting Python Application Distributions - URGENT

[sa]

- you might want to check these out:

Thomas Heller's py2exe : http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/py2exe/ (an
easy way create 'standalone' applications using disutils)

Gordon McMillan's python distribution utilities :
http://www.mcmillan-inc.com/install1.html (more options, but steeper
learning curve)

good luck,

sa
