I am just about to start using Python to learn some programming and before I start I just wonder about portability of anything I may write (which won't be much).
Two things come to mind:
. Will a Python prog compile to an .exe which I can distribute and if it won't is that unimportant or it signifies possible difficulties? Like I'm thinking if it doesn't then Python would need to be installed on any person's machine I sent the code to, I suppose?
. If I use SQL to keep the data in my progs would SQL need to be installed on the machines I sent the prog to?
I have made a start and I'm still at the confused stage but I'm using mysqldb instead of plain mysql. And I wonder about the ramifications of that? I've done it because I was sold on the persuasive page I came across but without fully understanding what I was doing.
