Re: Shed Skin Python-to-C++ Compiler 0.0.3 Release: some fixes, 3 MB Windows package
I'va got a trojan message by my virus scanner trying to download the 0.03 exe-file. Something to worry about?

Re: py2exe 0.6.1 released
Hi, I didnt succeed to bundle vpython-3.2.3 with py2exe-0.6.1 - regardless if its build as single file or not: "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way" and so on... This error message seems not generated by py2exe. At least I could not find a reference to it in the sources of py2exe. Regards Carl -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: py2exe 0.6.1 released
I removed conditional imports from visual and after that I works like a charm. Now I've got a VPython application within a single 3 Mbyte exe-file (Python-2.3). That is really cool. Thanks Carl -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
