Re: Question

Markis,

Any fairly simple algorithm generally can be rewritten in Python BUT many
such programs rely on external functionality that may not trivially be
available. Did your program use Visual Basic libraries or external libraries
written in C or Fortran and so on to do some of the work?

It may be you can find such functionality in the Python universe too, but
that can be a consideration.

As others have mentioned, it depends on what you mean by standalone. Pretty
much any Python program can be a standalone if it is invoked from some
command file that calls python as an interpreter and hands it a file to
execute. Your distribution would supply the appropriate such file and
document calling it, as one option. Other options to make a sort of bundled
executable could be done but may not be necessary if the right version of
python is already installed.

Subject: [Tutor] Question

This is my first time - so I hope I am doing this correctly.

A long time ago, back when VB 6 was still popular (boy I loved that
language, but hated what they did to it in VB.NET.  WIshed they still had
it) and Yahoo messenger was still around.  I wrote a SUPER SIMPLE
ABBREVIATED form of messenger able to chat with other people.

Is it possible to do it as a standalone program with Python?

If yes, can you give me suggestions on what to read (please don't send me
the code solution)?
If no, what is the best that can be done with JUST python?


Thank you!
Markis
