Vincent, I'm not sure I completely understand your question but this link may be the answer nonetheless: http://www.jrsoftware.org/isfaq.php#workingdir
And here is how I make sure I'm always using the right directory in my scripts: Put this code at the top: import sys curdir=os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0]) #print curdir Then I use curdir to build all of the paths in my app: For example let's get a list of files in a folder: lstresumes=os.listdir(os.path.join(curdir,resume_folder_path)) #get list of resumes Below is optional but helps me keep a python module in the exe's main directory and be able to edit it. Otherwise the main module reads from py2exe's lib file which seems harder to change: sys.path.insert(0,curdir) #read usersettings.py from main dir, not library Let me know if that helps (I may be answering the question I had yesterday and not yours though ;-) -Greg On 8/2/05, vincent wehren <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > "Grant Edwards" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> schrieb im Newsbeitrag > news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > |I have several python apps (some wxPython, some plain text-mode > | stuff) that I distribute internally for installation on Win32 > | machines.
