Please put it into a wiki page, at wiki.python.org

I would have to use the source again: if you set PYTHONHOME, you
can put the entire library into the zip file. If you don't, I
think os.py really needs to exist on disk (if so, that might be
a bug, as the intention is that you can put all .py/.pyc into the
zip file).

Sure: -OO.

If you don't need COM, or other dynamic embedding of pythonxy.dll, no.

No.
