compiling code

[Kyle Yancey]

There are scripts to do that, but the low tech way is to create a file
that imports your startup script and have your startup compiled as one
of it's modules.  Incidentally, I've found that changing the extension
on your pyo or pyc files to pyw causes no problems on Windows.  If
your user clicks on it, it will be opened without the console box
which is much nicer for Windows users.  Ideally though, you should
have a shortcut that starts you application with pythonw.exe.
