Maybe there is another group for posting this... I am a total newbie to
Python... so please forgive me if I ask a bunch of inappropriate
questions... as I am a big question asker.
If I develope an application in Python and use the Py2exe (hope I have that
right) tool... can I embed certain files... like graphic files... and even
video files... into the exe... so that they reside there, during
execution... as opposed to uncompressing into seperate files upon
installation.
For example, if I have a propritary graphic/slide and/or short propritary
video that I don't want to be a 'standalone' file... like a jpg or mov or
whatever... as I don't want people to be able to re-distribute the proteray
graphic/movie files w/o my application... will Py2exe or some other tool or
method bury those some way... like keeping them as data in the exe file?
It's been a long time since I have programed, but Python has got me
interested again.
Thanks for any suggestions.

py2exe allows to include data files as windows resources in the exe
file. Another thing you may be interested in is Mike Fletcher's
resourcepackage : http://resourcepackage.sourceforge.net/

How will that proprietary media be used? I ask because once you go to view it,
won't it be completely open and available to the user anyway? (if it's a jpg,
then the user could just take a screen shot of it, and if it's a movie, then
you either have to make it available on the filesystem so the video player can
play it, or go through the non-trivial tasks of streaming the data to the
player, in which case the player's own DRM scheme may be better as true media
access control requires integration with the media sink or player, and not just
the transport).

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,
does anybody know how I can get py2exe to work with wxPython's
wxCalendarCtrl?
Currently, I have just a "standard" setup.py, and py2exe gives me a
syntax error.
Do I need to include any special extension and how?
Below is the output I get as well as a small demo app to reproduce the
problem.

Hi,
I managed to build a simple com server with py2exe. My script only imports
codecs and re, but the dist folder contains tcl84.dll, tk84.dll and
win32ui.pyd. Can somebody tell me why? And how to prevent this? I don't do
any gui stuff, so where does the dependency comes from?

Hi all,
I know that to hide a console normally you simply change the extension
from .py to .pyw. That's simple enough. However I can't seem to
accomplish the same thing after freezing the program. I've tried
building the setup file with the python script as a .pyw file, but it
crashes and doesn't give me a reason. This is of course because the
debug window doesn't open, so you don't know what happened (ahh, the
irony).

Hello,
So I've been playing with Python and Pygame for a while and I decided
I wanted to make a real executable so I could send that stuff over to
my friends to show off my <sarcasm>maad skillz</sarcasm>.
Everything was going great I went and got all the newest software
(including Distutils and PY2EXE) and read the docs on making a setup

Don't know if this is the right place to ask, but has anyone considered using
something like tcl's freewrap code to integrate tkinter into py2xe single
executables?
We currently use the (fairly clunky) nsis route to create single file
executables with py2exe as input, but with the new bundle_files option it should
be possible to integrate our tcl/tk stuff into a common library.zip as that
seems to be the method used by freewrap.

Hi,
I am looking for feedback from people that has used or still uses
Py2Exe. I love to program in python, and I would like to use it to

Py2Exe would help on that.
The support tools I write are mostly command line driven (no GUI), but
in the future, I would like to write some expert applications that...
