*Newbie Question* --> Is it viable to distribute Python apps over the Internet?

(1)  http://www.dair.com/autorun/arpyexe.cgi
Use of the web page is free.

(2) A serious app (SpamAI sig link below)
I packaged the Python tree manually.  I started with the main DLL and then
included modules as Python found them not present in the tree at the time.
Packaging = Python = Free.  The trick here is to assign system.path and
prevent Python from searching its own install, using only the tree being
constructed.

I used TinySetup (www.tinysetup.com) for setup tasks.  Free after
registration (tinysetup is my site, btw).  I used WinRAR (www.rarlabs.com)
for self-extracting compression.  Commercial = $29
