<P><FONT SIZE=2>I've a couple of quick questions. This document seems to imply that you feel sending .so/.dll's with a product built on PyQt would not be a very good thing. Is that true? Also, if the libraries are linked into the final executable, is there really a need for the --onefile option to Installer? I'm not certain I understand why --onefile is needed.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks!</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Attached is a document describing how to convert a PyQt application into a </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>single binary executable. It also means that users of commercial PyQt </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>applications would find it difficult to accidentally become PyQt developers.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>This is a very manual process which I'm sure can be improved. At the moment it </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>only covers UNIX/Linux but a Windows version will be very similar and I'll </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>get round to it soon.</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Feedback and comments appreciated.</FONT>
