Hi Rudi,<br><br> py2exe includes a lot of things into the distribution by default, so you'll need to extend the "excludes" in your options in the setup script to get a smaller distribution, see <a href="http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/GeneralTipsAndTricks">http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/GeneralTipsAndTricks</a>. I've been using gdal with py2exe, and I guess that if you don't need large libraries like e.g. matplotlib or wx in your distribution, you should be able to get the size down to a few (less than 10) MB.<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I've created a small Python script that reads a set of points from a CSV file, calculates the area of the outer hull of the points, and writes the result to a text file. I would like to call the script from an Access database. Since I can't guarantee that the users will have Python, I ran the script through py2exe.<br>
<br>
1) The resulting distribution folder includes Tcl/Tk files and folders. I can only guess that these are used by GDAL in some way - are they required?<br>
2) The package is also surprisingly large for such a simple function - nearly 30MB. I suppose that's to be expected, but is there a way to bring down the footprint, short of translating to C++?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br><font color="#888888">
