The issue with renaming executables only applies to single-file executables, i.e. ones created with zipfile = None as an argument to setup() and --bundle 1 as a command line argument. This is a known issue as of 0.6.6: http://py2exe.org/index.cgi/ProblemsToBeFixed I found sources for 0.6.8 on CVS at: http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=15583 A Windows installer for the 0.6.8 py2exe module would be ideal, but somehow I doubt that's going to happen anytime soon since there hasn't been a new installer since 2006. If you are willing to build that for me (since I don't have VS) I'd really appreciate it : ) I'm using 32- bit WinXP on this computer. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
