Distribute Non Library

[narke]

My simple tool writing in python get bigger and bigger and I think I'd
better split my code into several files. But, unlike what in some other
languages, there is no way to compile these several files into a single
executable. Before I splitting my simple tool program, I just put it in
/usr/local/bin and run, very simple. Now I have to consider distribute
a lot of files in a whole. I know distutils can help, but I feel it is
a little uncomfortable, since I am not sharing a library, I am not
sharing any thing. I just want to refactory my code. Is there a better
solution to my case? Can I simply create a directory in /usr/local/bin
and put my script and other used files into the directory? Does
distutils help in this case?

Thanks in advance.

try :
python mayApp.zip

myApp.zip <--> all your files + a __main__.py file as a starting
point...

Consider using setuptools + console entry points. With these, you will
automatically generate a shell-script to execute for your otherwise
eggified and easy installable package.

Sure there is. py2exe, py2app, cx_freeze, etc.

looks also not decent i want my tool appear as an executabe, not an
zip. but thank you anyway.

Also good solution! Thanks for the help. And, cx_freeze looks even
workable on my Linux. Great.
