Just want to add to that... 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..
When I run a py.exe using py2exe from the start menu and the user enters any input.. program crashes without errors. When I run a py.exe directly from the command line, it runs flawless. When I run the script from either the start menu or the command line, it runs flawless. I appreciate pyInstaller giving a little more interesting icon to my .exe also... but thats just being picky and lazy. On 11/15/06, Chris Hengge <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Because alot of the users here at Intel dont want to admit you can write usable programs in a "scripting" language.. so when they see a .exe they feel comfy... I'm working on pushing "agile language"... I personally think its more appropriate then scripting =D On 11/15/06, Alan Gauld <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > "Etrade Griffiths" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote > > 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 > > little progress.
