Learned things with py2exe 0.5

[http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/py2exe/py2exe-0.5.0.win32-py2.3.exe py2exe0.5.0] is the release of py2exe 0.5 [http://groups.google.de/groups?dq=&hl=de&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&threadm=1ebr001fkuq85al2i8c26ejceu8qvedmdb%404ax.com&prev=/groups%3Fhl%3Dde%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8%26group%3Dcomp.lang.python announced] by Thomas Heller in January 2004

As nearly usual in Open Source space, prerelases and beta are of the same quality as .02 releases from some commercial software developing companies - rather full functional, with small obstacles.

I had to "upgrade" also my knowledge about workarounds from py2exe 0.4

["py2exe and Quixote"]

Quixote is a python webserver which allows one to execute ptl files using ihooks. You can distribute your web application with medusa or twisted and hence you can create a web application without IIS or Apache. I like to distribute my application with py2exe but I can not make py2exe setup script to recognize that x.ptl is a valid python files. Any idea how to do this?
