You mean http://www.py2exe.org/ http://www.py2exe.org/? Drawbacks, the tooling is superb, but it will take you months to wrap your brains around the tooling, idioms and best practices. Expect a learning curve to get acclimated with things. Another plus is the community is self-aware and wants to get work done. There are other programming languages where if you criticize them - instead of taking it as an engineer - they get their feelings hurt and delve into deeper denial. In 2015, there are numerous tools to handle cases where GIL, as an example. https://wiki.python.org/moin/Concurrency/ https://wiki.python.org/moin/Concurrency/

Yes py2exe and freeze etc. I agree the tooling for python is very good and I find the community to be one of the better ones as you have mentioned. Coming from a pure Microsoft background, and that not being C# but databases and cubes, I find some of the freedom in the ways of working with Python "scary" at times. Microsoft tends to build a nice set of tracks that their developers seem to follow so it all ends up very corporate and "best practice". (Just my personal opinion) It thus feels like there are much more "training wheels" applied for beginners in something like C# and .Net than what you have in most open source technologies. Thanks again for your replies.
