Thanks for the various advice(s) re PY2EXE alternatives. I considered
installing Python on the target machines but though it would be simpler to

As of the day before yesturday I've been using pyInstaller rather then
py2exe(which I've used the last few months) I've found some bug that I can't
figure out and dont really care to put effort into fixing..

I'm working on pushing "agile language"... I personally think its more

Hi
just finished developing my first app with wxPython and matplotlib and now
trying to create an EXE file using PY2EXE for distribution. However, this
is proving to be an extremely frustrating experience and I am making very
