Try the documentation on the Wiki at: 
http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/Getting_20Started

It's much more complete than the getting started tutorial on the main 
site. The Wiki in general is a great place to find info on wxPython, 
although I do think that eventually a nice tutorial page should come 
out of all this.

If you mean an ".exe" file on Windows, and a ".app" on Mac, then yes, 
you can do both. (And I do so for my own wxPython application, 
EClass.Builder.) If you're talking about distributing the script 
itself, people would need to download wxPython to run it of course. 
(Hopefully this could be fixed in future versions of Python... =)

Thanks,

Kevin
