Does nuitka build a static executable or do you still need to supply shared libraries with the executable?

It builds a static executable if you pass it the --standalone option.

    No, it doesn't.

      $ echo 'print "Hello world"' > hello.py
  $ nuitka --standalone hello.py 
  $ ldd hello.dist/hello.exe
  	linux-gate.so.1 (0xf7f94000)
  	libdl.so.2 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0xf7895000)

      Ok, it buids a static executable against the python runtime and extensions, including the c ones. It doesn't against libc, lubutil, etc. But aren't those almost always installed ?

      If it's a real problem on your machines, it's PR time !
