hi.

suppose i work in a linux environment, but i would like to ship a
win/dos executable file from time to time, just for test purposes (my
"testers" are windows users and don't want to go through the hassle of
installing python on their win boxes). what is the best way to do that?
(the application should be a simple console app, but my question applies
to gui/tkinter apps too)

hint: when i do the same in C, i usually do something like:

You're not going to be able to do it on linux. A virtual machine
running win2k works fine, though.

Is it really such a hassle to install things on Windows?

Sometimes. But, no matter how easy it is, if you rely on your
customers to install some third party SW that's required for your
program to work, they'll figure out a way to screw it up.

If you're shipping a Windows program, you can barely count on the
target machine having a working base Windows install. Expecting
something else to be there is pure fantasy.

I find it somewhat easier than on Ubuntu, but I think you've missed the point.
