PyScripter is a free and open-source Python Integrated Development Environment (IDE) created with the ambition to become competitive in functionality with commercial Windows-based IDEs available for other languages. Being built in a compiled language is rather snappier than some of the other Python IDEs and provides an extensive blend of features that make it a productive Python development environment. 

I wrote dbtxt because I needed a small, flat database in a python environment that didn't depend upon any external libraries. Most libraries are contaminated with the GPL, and this needed to be OK for commercial distribution without any complications. So that's what we have here - a complete (though small) database system that depends on nothing at all other than the Python language and its internal libraries. The entire database comes in at about 20k bytes (that's right, "k", not hundreds of k or megabytes) and I was able to implement all the functions I needed. So I was happy. Will you be happy? Well, download it and read the docs and see what you think. The download, zipped, is about 13k. Yep. 13k. :-) By all means, if you have a need for the same kind of thing, feel free to make any use of dbtxt you please. I have released it as PD, so you can use it in projects that are commercial, GPL, BSD, PD, private, government... whatever you like. Below you'll find a basic description taken from beginning of the docs; in the archive you'll download there is complete documentation, two sample databases, a test program and the database engine itself.

PyInstaller is a program that converts (packages) Python programs into stand-alone executables, under Windows, Linux and Irix. Its main advantages over similar tools are that PyInstaller works with any version of Python since 1.5, it builds smaller executables thanks to transparent compression, it is multi-platform (so you can build one-file binaries also under Linux), and use the OS support to load the dynamic libraries, thus ensuring full compatibility. PyInstaller is an effort to rescue, maintain and further develop Gordon McMillan's Python Installer (now PyInstaller). Their official website is not longer available and the original package is not longer maintained. Believing that it is still far superior to py2exe, we have setup this site to continue its further development. Feel free to join us in the effort! Please consult our Roadmap to check our plans. Also usage reports are welcomed: let us know if PyInstaller works for you and how, or what problems you found in using it.
