Okay, I realize that python is an interpreted language, so there's no compiling and therefore no linking, so I don't even know for sure if what I'm asking is possible.

If I write a script which uses a third-party module such as scipy and I would like to distribute that script, is it possible to do so in a way that the user can still execute it even if they don't have the numpy package installed?

I do believe that you can simply include the .py or .pyc file in a directory that you distribute. Then, you simply do the following:

import sys
sys.path.append("path/to/modules/directory")
import module

This may sound like a stupid question, but would that work on any OS?

You may have to change the "/" to "\\" for windows or use the sys.path.sep characters.
