Hey there coders,

I was wondering, can I 'convert' or 'complite' a pythong file (.py) to something that every computer can read/execute without having python installed? If so, please help me out

EDIT: Another question: how do I compile C files, since I have tried it with the 2013 express but it does not quite work for me.

Kind regards,
Max

something that every computer can read/execute without having python installed

That's like running a vb or c# application on a computer without the .Net Framework. As far as i know that's impossible in both cases.

This shows how to make a .exe of a .py file.

Ofcourse there are/will be limitations such as 'you need x.dll and y.dll' but tose DLLs are usually of the .NET Framework, which most PCs have.

EDIT: I forgot to tell that I cant get that one working on my PC, the py2exe.

NO they don't. The .Net Framework is an optional library which means you the user have to install it (usually it installs itself when you install Visual Studio). But since Windows 7 the .Net Framework comes with the Windows installation.
So if a user has Windows XP and never installed Visual Studio or just the .Net Framework library, NO .net based application is gonna work no matter how you convert it.

When you install Windows 7 it doesn't come with the latest .Net Framework. I guest it comes with .Net 2.0.

Lets rephrase it: the computer I plan to use it on has .netframework and im not able to instal python, thus my question.

Sorry #clanc789 we got a bit off track, here THIS might be of some help.

No problem #XTechVB I found out how to compile *.c files so that is solved now

As for your program suggestion: I tried that but I can not find how to install it correctly so that it works on windows 8.

Found the solution: make a wrapper for it

Well i guess that's the best solution. Even the .Net Framework is one massive wrapper around the original Windows libraries.
