Thanks everyone for the help. I got my app working with using cython to generate the c code, cl to compile, and visual studio to create the setup.exe and the msi installer. I appreciate the help.

I want to distribute this in a windows or other operating system installer. I'll start with windows first. I don't think I can use cx_freeze to create the installer, unless I know which files to include in the package and list them. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62390978/minimal-set-of-files-required-t o-distribute-an-embed-cython-compiled-code-and-ma -----Original Message----- From: Jim Schwartz <jsch...@sbcglobal.net> Sent: Friday, April 7, 2023 5:33 AM To: 'Eryk Sun' <eryk...@gmail.com> Cc: 'python-list@python.org' <python-list@python.org> Subject: RE: Windows installer from python source code without access to source code Yea, thanks a lot. That makes sense. I was testing it on my development environment and got it to work that way, but I need to package it and test it on my dual boot "user" environment. Thanks again for the help. I've deleted that environment variable. -----Original Message----- From: Eryk Sun <eryk...@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, April 6, 2023 8:06 PM To: Jim Schwartz <jsch...@sbcglobal.net> Cc: python-list@python.org Subject: Re: Windows installer from python source code without access to source code On 4/6/23, Jim Schwartz <jsch...@sbcglobal.net> wrote: > Never mind.

If you're creating a Python application or embedding Python in an application, use the embeddable distribution, and add any additional required sys.path directories to the included "._pth" file (e.g. "python311._pth"). https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys_path_init.html#pth-files -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
