Re: [pygame] Pygame2Exe problems

[Zak Arntson <zak.arntson@gmail.com>]

Well hmph. Are there any other answers to running Pygame games without
Python installed?

I can think of writing a little C program that interfaces and includes
the Python stuff and then runs the game module. But yikes, that
doesn't sound like something I want to try unless I have a good
weekend on my hands to learn the embedding process.

Any other options? Can I put the python distribution on a CD (with
Pygame in the site-packages directory) and run games from that? Or
does the Windows (Python or Pygame) install perform some critical
registry/system installation?
