standalone Python application

Question

I need some simple examples and tutorials for creating stand-alone python application. I've never do such a thing, so any help is needed. More precisely, I have one class - SVGViewer, with one argument - full path to .svg file, and I need it to be standalone and somehow to be able to open .svg files. Any suggestions for that would be appreciated.

What is your definition of "standalone"? Every Python script is standalone. Do you want to make a "full program", e.g. an .exe in Windows or something? — timss, May 14 '13 at 08:46
@Aleksander In that case take a look at this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2136837/process-to-convert-simple-python-script-into-windows-executable (i.e. use py2exe) — timss, May 14 '13 at 14:21

You can check how other people do "standalone" SVG viewers in Python.

I guess you can also use ReportLab to generate convert the SVG to some bitmap.

I doubt OPs question is actually specific to SVG viewers though. – timss May 14 '13 at 08:53
You missunderstood me.. What I wanted is to create .exe file for my program, not to run it from Eclipse, as I do now. – Aleksandar May 14 '13 at 14:39

Ah, then you have to take a look at the [py2exe project](http://www.py2exe.org/). – Jordan Jambazov May 14 '13 at 14:59
