Crumb! I actually use a GUI wrapper for py2exe called GUI2Exe which makes this sort of thing much easier. Unfortunately, it also makes me less knowledgeable. You can check it out here: http://xoomer.alice.it/infinity77/main/GUI2Exe.html Also, there's a distutils group and a py2exe group. Both of them would know a lot more about how to do this. https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/py2exe-users http://www.python.org/community/sigs/current/distutils-sig/list/ Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
