Sharing tools was the subject of the final module for GIS Programming. After modifying a script so that it could be embedded right into the pertinent tool, the script was embedded and then password protected. Embedding a script directly into the tool improves the ease with which the tool can be shared. Password protecting the script prevents anyone from viewing or exporting the script without the password. The tool's dialog box and the results from this module's embedded script can be seen here:

Initially working with Python was frustrating, but continuing with it was fruitful. It quickly became obvious that the more Python is used, the easier it is to use and understand. While there still are several things that are not clearly understood, finding the right resource for clarification is becoming quicker. Implementing what has been learned will be important to retaining it.
And just in case anyone is wondering...having your elderly parents actively test the local hospital's emergency room to see if they will provide services at 2-for-1 cost for seniors just before final exam is not conducive to completing course work in a timely fashion. I'm just saying. (Both are fine now and in their own home again.)
Good luck to everyone in their Python and GIS endeavors!
