Announcing Pyco - a tool for building tiny Python Windows executables.
What is it?
Pyco (pronounced like "pico") is a program that creates standalone
(single-file) Windows executables from your Python programs, with an
emphasis on the finished executable being as small as possible (starting
at about 350K).
Why should I use it?
Most people probably shouldn't. ;-)
It started as an experiment but I ended up using it for a real project,
so I thought somebody else might like to use/play with it too. It does
not attempt to replace the other tools (py2exe, McMillan), it is not as
good as the other tools, and you should probably avoid Pyco if you
haven't used the other tools before.
I needed a very small Windows executable (for rapid downloads) to which
I could easily append additional files after the executable had already
been created. If you have similar needs, Pyco will be useful as is or
as a starting point.
Where can I get it?

What is the license?
Do whatever you want, don't sue me.
