I'm have a fairly simple (in terms of COM) python program that pulls
info from an Access database and creates Outlook contacts from that
information. It uses wxPython for gui and works without problems.
I want to be able to distribute this program using py2exe, but I am
having some problems. I am using a simple setup.py like in the
documentation for the py2exe tool and everything compiles ok, except
that when I run the exe, I get an exception that says "ImportErro r: no
module named pythoncom." My program used win32com (which appears to be
loaded fine with the executable) until I needed thread support for the
gui. In order to do this, I needed to import pythoncom and call
CoInitialize() and CoUninitialize( ) manually for the new thread. I
believe it is this use of the pythoncom module that py2exe is having
trouble with.
I tried adding "pythoncom" to the import list in the distutils
setup.py but the py2exe tool gave me a warning that said it couldn't
be located. I am able to import this module just fine in python
scripts and at the interpreter. I am relatively new to COM and its use
with python as well as with distutils and py2exe. If anyone could help
me out with this, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Brian

A quick search for pythoncom and py2exe yielded this page (which I have
actually used before so I can verify that it works): http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/766627
The piece of magic is, I believe, "pythoncom.froz en = 1" Hopefully this
hasn't changed too much since I last used it.
Let me know if you have troubles, I'll dig up my old scripts that I py2exe'd

Oops. I think I was answering the wrong question. What I sent you was
how to py2exe a pythoncom server so I don't think that it is going to
help. Sorry about that. I'll see if I have any more notes on py2exe
and pythoncom.

Try posting a message in the PythonWin32 Mail List at ActiveState.com
It's more specific to Windows, than generic Python.

py2exe 0.4.x is no longer compatible with the newer win32all versions,
you need the 0.5.0 prerelease for this (which requires Python 2.3, btw).
No docs so far, but samples are included - you have to modify your setup
script a little.
Thomas
Just include the 'pythoncom23.dl l'. (usally can be found in
%windir%/system32 -> Windows 2000).

Hi all,
I can't get a py2exe compiled app to run with numarray (numarray-0.5.win32-
py2.2).
Also wxPythonWIN32-2.3.3.1-Py22 and ActivePython-2.2.1-222.
In the sample below, commenting out "import numarray" allows the exe to
run. Left in, I get "4.exe has generated errors" etc.
I'm going around and around and there isn't much on Google.
py2exe output is last.

Hi,
Python is really great, for small to big programs. For my colleagues and
some circumstances I sometimes need to "compile" a script using py2exe.
Cause I use Windows, I like to use the (Windows) ability, to add some
version infos, comments, etc to the exe file.
If I use explorer to check, these properties are visible and correct.

Dear all:
I made a window program by wxPython. Split windows, treectrl, listctrl

window controls are like the windos XP look & feel, with thin and flat
border (My os is window XP). It's natural because, as I know, wxPython
use native look and feel.
But when I convert the program to EXE file by Py2exe, and run it, the

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
