JAR-like facility for Python?

[Chris Ryland]

Has anyone ever built a Jar-like facility for Python, such that you
could install just two files--the Python interpreter (perhaps in DLL
form for embedding in a larger system), plus one large JAR-like file
(PAR?) containing all the standard libraries?

This would work better for my envisioned use than a freeze-like
solution. (I can explain more if needs be.)

Thanks for any thoughts, hints, pointers, etc.
