Learning Python

... a work in progress

* You can use py2exe to package a python app for running on machines without an explicit python installation. http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/py2exe/

* PythonWin which comes with ActiveState Python, has one annoying (IMO) trait when compared to IDLE, which comes with the Python.org Windows distro. This is that the read_input() and input() are implemented as a pop-up Windows dialog. When writing CLI apps, I find it's better to have everything happening in the shell itself.
