Not commercial distribution, but an academic kind of sorts - giving

ones that bring their own computer at work, but those are an
exception).
As far as I know py2exe is the only option which can do such a thing
(make exe files from scripts). Is there a way to make those exe files
a little smaller (for a small script they easily go up to 5-10 mb).
Times have changed, 5-10Mb is REALLY small. Flash drives hold 4000-8000Mb
for less than $20 and standard hard drives are now 500Gb. IMHO you are
concerned about a problem that doesn't actually exist.
But what if he wants to distribute his program on a floppy
disk? ;)
[I think only 1 of my 5 machines has a floppy drive, and the
last time I tried to use it, it didn't work. I did have a
usb-floppy drive somewhere, but I think somebody borrowed it a
couple years ago and never returned it.]
