I'm about half way through the course ( lecture 13 ) and i haven't seen anything about making a program runable on any machine without the source code, and I was wondering if it were possible ( I'd be disappointed if it wasn't) and if we learn it in the course or do I have to go out and look at other resources? This is curiosity so I'm really not looking for specifics...

One way is to use py2exe on windows. That will make executable from your source. http://www.py2exe.org/ I think it works only for Python 2.x, 3.x is not suported.

cool, so basically you don't need the Python Shell to run it once you've made it executable with py2exe?

anonymous · Answer

Yes, you can run it like any other .exe file. Just follow instructions on the site. But, it is only for version of Python 2.x.
