Robin, > do you of an alternate compilter it doesn't work (py2exe) on my windows 7 box
I can assure you that Py2exe does work on Windows 7 (my firm develops commercial Python applications packaged using Py2exe running on Windows 7), but it does take a bit of fiddling and some patience. Join the py2exe newsgroup and post your problems there. https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/py2exe-users You may also want to google 'Gui2exe'. This is a free front-end to Py2exe that you can use to generate your Py2exe setup.py scripts. Note that Gui2exe requires wxPython (free) to run. Finally, make sure you are trying to compile 32-bit Python 2.x code. I don't think py2exe supports Python 3.x or 64-bit versions of Python yet. > Nope; py2exe is pretty much the go-to tool for this. I hear great things about PyInstaller. The project is not dead - make sure you use the latest version in the SVN. Search stackoverflow.com for positive feedback and tips on PyInstaller. Its on our plate to take a good look this product 'one of these days'. Good luck! Malcolm -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
