1. Is there a way to start with no command line window popping up? My
main script is a pyw, but it still shows a dos window when the
generated .exe file is clicked. Leaving out the "console" parameter of
setup, though, results in no .exe file at all, so I had to put it
back. I want what I have heard called a "silent startup", where the
program starts but it does not pop up anything. My users will know
because I will speak a message, but I want to dump the dos window.
You probably want to use the 'windows=' option instead of the 'console='
option (or both if you like - in which case you probably also need to
specify a 'dest_base' value for one of them.
2. Is there a way to put the exe in a higher-level dir, then put all
the pyd, dll, zip, and other files into a subdirectory so the .exe is
not mixed in with all these files that most users will not care about?
Thank you for all your help over the last few days!!
I *think* that if you specify the 'zipfile' param to include a directory
portion then all libs will be stored in that same dir. Eg, spambayes
includes:
zipfile = "lib/spambayes.modules",
which causes the .zip file to be named as specified, but all the .pyd
files also wind up in the 'lib' directory. Use of the 'dest_base' param
causes all executables to be placed in a 'bin' directory, so we have 2
separate dirs holding things. Spambayes has a complicated setup file
which may offer some insights - find the spambayes source at sourceforge
then look for the spambayes/spambayes/windows/py2exe/setup_all.py file
for inspiration...
HTH,
Mark.
