py2exe questions

[Doug Stell]

I have 2 questions about py2exe or any similar utility.

1. Is it possible to create a single Windows executable that does not
blow out to a folder full of files and can be called from scripts
using command line arguments?

2. If the above can be done, it is possible to hide parts of the
Python source code from users? These users are software developers,
but we don't want them to see how the code does what it does.

thanks, doug
