To make it easier to use, I woulduse the python compiler and cygwin or something to make a .exe when you have a final release. A majority of users have Windows.

Yeah, I can use py2exe or cx_freeze to pack it, but:

1. I hate Windows users... :D
   
2. The configuration part is placed in the script text itself, so once it's compiled by CPython to a .pyo file, the configuration can no longer be changed. If I put the configuration part outside and import it with eval(), I'm not sure whether a packed Python interpreter will work. Maybe I can create a config file parser with xml library...
   
3. Installing Python 3.1 (on Windows) won't kill any users. (Well, in most cases it won't, at least. :D ) It's 13MB only. Afterall, these lazy Windows users really need an exercise. :D If they have Python installed, they will be able to use other scripts or randomly edit my script, too.
