Hello
I am sure most of you are familiar with py2exe. I am having a bit of a
problem. See the program has a few pictures involved and the .ico it uses
for the windows. However, the pictures are stored in the same directory as
the source, something like: C:\Docs and settings\me\My docs\python\program.
When I run the program for the interpreter, just as a .py, everything works
just as it should. However, when I compile the main source as an .exe, and
say let a friend try the program. It fails because it is missing the .ico.
The catch, is I don't want to have it have to installed, at least at this
point, I want it to be able to just run. So how can I make it just run from
any computer with the files not being in the immediate directory. If that is
not possible, how can I put them in the immediate directory and still make
it work. Because that directory may change a lot so the path will change.
Just a few questions. I hope someone out there can help me out!
Windows can't read minds. The icon's/pictures have to either be in the same
directory as the .exe or the .exe has to have a way to find them in another
folder (e.g. via .ini config file).
Takw a few minutes and go to: http://jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php
It is a free Windows installer that I use to take py2exe, icons, pictures,
.ini files, documentation, etc and wrap it all up into a nice, neat package that
can be distributed as a single .exe. It will take a couple of hours, but it
will be hours well spent (especially if you think you will do this more than once).
