The Sublime text editor is written in Python built into the application. At the same time, the volume of service files does not seem to exceed 5 MB.

How did the author do it?

msvcp90.dll
msvcr90.dll
python26.dll
python26.zip

I've been poking around about this recently:
sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/ and www.pyinstaller.org/
together allow you to create exe files. I tried other options, but only this one took off with Python 2.7 ...

Several options have already been written, I will add my own: Cython , we are building an application for them immediately under Linux, Windows and MacOS.

What surprises you? The Python DLL itself is two and a half megabytes in standard form, if desired, it can be further reduced if unnecessary built-in modules are excluded. The .zip file obviously stores the zipped bytecode - Python can import it directly from there. (By the way, you can zip the archive directly to a DLL or EXE.) Again, if you take only really used modules, the archive is unlikely to be large. The author, as I see it, also included standard MS libraries - in principle, you can twist it with the system msvcrt.dllone, which will further reduce the size of the distribution.
