I am new to Python and am trying to create a standalone exe from a
python script using py2exe 0.5.0 and Python 2.3 without success. I am
able to generate the appropriate .exe file but it is not executable.
Running it does absolutely nothing.
The sourceforge site says that wsvc6 is required for py2exe. Is this
true? If so, it is contradiction with the python faq which claims
that no C compiler is necessary with py2exe.
I also tried Gordon Mcmillan's installer which I found completely
incomprehensibl e despite the prodigous "easy to use" claims.
Please help this obviously flustered newbie. Thanks in advance. 5 1658
You do not need a C compiler to make a standalone application.
In version 0.5 the setup.py files changed a bit.
First of all can you run your python script on the commandline?
I have a hello world app as follows:
#pTest.py
print "Hello World"
#setup.py
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(name='Tes t',
description="a Test",
version='0.1.0' ,
console=['pTest.py'])
#build.bat
e:\Python23\pyt hon.exe setup.py py2exe
Try to build this app and see if your py2exe is setup correctly.

It just opens a window which immediately closes.

MSVC6 is *only* required if you want to build py2exe itself from the
sources. If you install the binary package, you won't need it. More
below.

What did you expect ;-) ? The exe is a console program, when you
double-click it in the explorer, it opens a console ("command prompt")
window, prints 'Hello, World', and then the console window closes again
- probably faster then you can recognize the output.
To see what this program does, you should open a command prompt window
yourself, navigate (with 'cd directory') to the directory where your exe
file is, and start it by entering 'pTest.exe'.
You can prevent that the console window in the first case closes
immediately by adding a 'raw_input()' call to the script pTest.py at the
end.

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

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.

In the long run, this will be the wrong forum. I suggest
comp.lang.python (or should a py2exe mailing list be created?).
And I'm cc'ing to python-list.

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.

Here's a little walkthrough to get py2exe up and running. I'm not an expert, so I can't help much with any problems you might have. This is what worked for me.
The result here will be to convert a simple python app into a single .exe file that can be copied and run on any Windows XP machine. It may work on many other Windows platforms, but I haven't tested it.
You'll need a working Python installation first, preferably v2.3 or later. ...
