Hello Jack,
Do you still need help regarding exe creation?
In case you do. Here are some notes I took way back in 2003.
you must create a setup.py
put something like
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
sbiGui = ['samplemodule', 'samplemodule.checkstatus','samplemodule.client']
sbiModules = ['anothermodule']
setup( name="TestApp",version="1.62",
scripts=["TestAppMain.py"],
description="Test App",
author="Dakila Reyes II",
author_email="dareyes at up.edu.ph",
url="http://whatever_put_url_here.com/";,
packages= sbiGui + sbiModules,
data_files=[('BMP',['BMP/ARW01DN.BMP','BMP/ARW01LT.BMP','BMP/ARW01RT.BMP
','BMP/ARW01UP.BMP','BMP/logo.bmp'])],
)
create a setup.cfg also
[py2exe]
version-companyname=Dax Reyes Solutions
version-legalcopyright=Dax Reyes
version-filedescription = TestApp Modules
version-fileversion = 1.0.0.1
version-legaltrademarks = Blah blah blah.
version-productname = TestApp
version-productversion = 1.1.1.0
Then after that
go to the current directory where TestAppMain.py and setup.py reside.
Then run
c:\your_python_install_dir\python setup.py py2exe -w -O2
This will create a subdirectory dist\TestApp that contains the exe.
*Note Check the -O2 flag, not sure what will be the side effects to your app.
Hope this helps.
If you need to also package it into a nice simple installer. I might
be able to help.
