A Python runtime that can run scripts without the need for Python to be installed. With the inclusion of wxPython and SPE editor it is a portable (movable) development environment. Also useful for testing scripts with several different python versions.

There is a new release of Movable Python nearly ready (under a new license). Only Windows 98 testing and the documentation to complete. Watch the Voidspace Techie Blog for news: http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/weblog/index.shtml
There is a new Movable Mailing list : http://groups.google.com/group/movpy Use this for feature requests, support, bug reports, questions and suggestions.
There hasn't been a huge amount of progress since the last release in February. The GUI seems stuck at 'nearly ready'. My latest preference would be to start from scrathc using Wax as the GUI toolkit :-) There is new code available for including packages, which makes better use of the py2exe package including facilities. This wouldn't afect the final distributions - but making building distributions a bit more efficient. Since the last release we've also seen the release of Python 2.3.5 and 2.4.1, and newer versions of SPE, ctypes, IPython, and wxPython. I'm considering making changes and doing a new release.

Version 0.4.5 Version 0.4.5 is now available, hurrah. This is a bugifx/update release. The distributions it produces are very *similar* to version 0.4.4 distributions, but there are a couple of issues resolved. See http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/movpy/changelog.html for details. *Most* of the changes relate to the PyDistFrreeze.py in the 'source' package. This is the code that creates the frozen distributions. There have been several simplifications and improvements. Again, see the CHANGELOG for details. Version 0.5.0 Bruno Thoorens has provided me with the code for the GUI for PyDistFreeze.py When I have integrated it with PyDistFreeze.py it will form the 0.5.0 release. This should be in the next couple of weeks time permitting. The GUI is *excellent*. Regards, Michael Foord http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/index.shtml
Bruno Thoorens is working on a GUI for PyDistFreeze.py. This will be the major change for version 0.5 and will allow graphical selection of packages to include/exclude. By the way there isa minor issue with version 0.4.4 source, which only seems to affect Python 2.2. It can be resolved adding the following lines in 'files/movpy.py' . They need to go immediately before the try:... except: block wrapping the 'compile' statement : if not commandline.endswith('\n'): commandline = commandline + '\n' If enough else changes before the GUI is ready I may do a 0.4.5 release. Regards, Fuzzy http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/index.shtml
Ok - version 0.4.4 of Movable Python is now available. Both a source distribution and prebuilt environments for python 2.4.
Preliminary docs are now online at the homepage : http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/movpy/index.html You can download the distribution maker from : http://www.voidspace.org.uk/cgi-bin/voidspace/downman.py?file=testenv.zip That version is the 0.4.3 version... but with incomplete docs. As soon as the docs are complete I'll do a sourceforge release, including some prebuilt environments.
