&lt;p&gt;For instance, just by compressing the resulting .exe&lt;br /&gt;
with WinRAR (in .rar and .zip format), I can win&lt;br /&gt;
approximately 1MB on each library.zip !&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maybe add an option to set the compression level ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For the story, I've made some testing tools in python&lt;br /&gt;
for my own usage. But now, the production is interested&lt;br /&gt;
in having them. So I used py2exe so they can run on&lt;br /&gt;
Windows.&lt;br /&gt;
But since they access the serial port, it has to be&lt;br /&gt;
copied on every remote machine before being run. It can&lt;br /&gt;
take tenth of minutes to transfer 2MB on our network...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Nicolas BONARDELLE</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 15 Jun 2006 16:30:43 -0000</pubDate><guid>https://sourceforge.net9a7bc2d40f5373b7311d3e079c44f7bbd7aae191</guid></item></channel></rss>
