Today I created my first working Python Windows GUI .exe, and ran it successfully on a machine without Python installed. :)

It did turn a 17kb source file into an 11.9MB executable, though, so I think there's room for streamlining the process....

I more than hope to do it one day, I need some real help right now. I tried to use the baisc example on a web page on some website and it didn't work. I was wondering if you guys could help me with the py2exe and how to use it.

Please include any error messages that you are getting.

I'm attempting to compile my very large project now. I did a google search for "py2exe gui" and guess what hit at the #4 spot. There were some other useful hits as well.
