Build standalone Python archives

[paulscottrobson]

It may be worth considering having a makefile to build standalone archives - this can be done with:
mv fnxmgr.py init.py
zip fnxmgr.zip *.py
Makes it slighty easier to handle, can move it around as a single application

Do you have a link about how this works? This is something I'm not familiar with.

The simplest way is to rename fnxmgr.py to main.py and zip the python files into a file called fnxmgr.zip - then it will work exactly as per your examples except you use python fnxmgr.zip --port - I have tried this and it works fine on linux and probably on windows.

You can do it with a zipapp module but I've never got it to work well :)

Bet you thought I forgot about this! Added a ZIP bundle (and a batch file to create it easily). Let me know if this works for you.
