Using a package like PyInstaller

[LittlePython]

"Im 99.999% confident that this will not happen from the .exe file
generated by pyinstaller (unless you specify--see link above)."

have been trying to introduce py into our environment, and have opened a few

leave behind anything or alter anything on a systems ...... period,  and as
the saying goes "To error is human but to forgive is not company policy!"

thx for your comments!
