I use GUI2Exe, a wrapper of py2exe that I find easier to use. You can find it here: http://xoomer.alice.it/infinity77/main/GUI2Exe.html There's also this interesting utility (that I've never used) from Frederik Lundh: http://effbot.org/zone/exemaker.htm I've heard good things about PyInstaller (the one Gary mentioned). As far as I know, py2exe doesn't use Visual Studio to do its compiling, so I don't think that's relevant. Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
