WxPython looks really nice and it looks like it is not complicated to throw
something together for a quick-and-dirty editor.  It is quite important to
have this possibility.

There was a discussion about GUI for Adonthell itself.  Would you consider
it?

I'm afraid py2exe works ONLY on Windows. But there is another product called
"installer" which works on Linux ( http://www.mcmillan-inc.com/install1.html )

Just curious - are those executables big in size?  I fear if they track all
modules even minor tool can be gigantic for downloading.
