True, I forgot that because the MS JVM tends to be installed. I think I
may have exaggerated the features of the former too. Is there any easy
way to make a single executable for Python, the standard library,
required .pyd's and your code? My vague impression is that you could if
you had a compiler and the source for your pyd's, or else you could fall
back on an installer (rather than a single big runnable app).
