[Py2exe-users] Bundling without including Python

[Paul M. <p.f...@gm...>]

One thing I often want to do is to create an executable version of a
Python script (and its dependencies) that will run on another system
with Python installed (but not necessarily with all the dependencies).
I can just zip up the file and its dependencies and run it using
Python's executable zip feature, but it seems to me that using
py2exe's features (automatically finding and bundling dependencies,
running DLLs from the exe, creating an exe rather than a zip) would be
useful.

Is this something that could be added to py2exe? Basically, it seems
like it would just be a case of *not* including the Python DLLs and
stdlib files in the bundling process (but I realise that's probably a
bit naive :-))
