Hi !
I have a problem.
I have a little tool that can get data about filesystems and wrote it in
python.
The main user asked me a GUI for this software.
This user is needed a portable program, so I create this kind of the
software with Py2Exe.
But it have very big size: 11 MB... :-(

Dependency tracking is usually not perfect in exe generators. I don't
recall how good py2exe is at this. If you understand which of those
files will not be used by your program, you can safely delete them. A
bit of trial and error here if you are not sure. Unless you are using
floppies or dialup to transfer this tool, you should simply not worry
about the file size.
As for compression, just use an installer builder like Inno Setup http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php http://www.istool.org/default.aspx/
Hi !
Yes, it is. But that tool is designed for USB PenDrive usage.
The assessor is collect all tools it needed to see a machine(s) in the
checked corporation.
He/she needs little programs, because he need to store the results of
the checkings too, not the tools only.
So I need to minimalize the code size.

I doubt you can do much then as you mentioned you need GUI which is why
there is the GUI related dll in the list(takes a large chunk of it),
then the necessary python runtime.
However, even for USB pen, I don't think 11M is that much a big deal.
We have digicam that can produce file size like that so finding a large
pen drive is not much of an issue. Worse come to worse, convince him to
use a 2.5" USB drive container. It is a bit bigger than USB pen drive
but can give you 20G+ without external power, just as convenient as a
pen drive.

You can use PyInstaller ( http://pyinstaller.hpcf.upr.edu). PyInstaller easily
builds a single executable with everything inside it. It also optionally
compresses everything with UPX ( http://upx.sourceforge.net/) so to reduce the
size at the maximum.
There are also other choices that can be made. For instance, wxWidgets is
*HUGE*.

I've snipped out the relatively small files above. Yes, true, some of
them consume about 0.5MB each.
It seems to me that your choice of GUI framework is a major cost here. I
have never used wxpython. Instead my GUIs are based on tkinter. What I
typically end up with is roughly 7MB. My last example ended up in 7.5MB.
Zipping the whole thing reduces that to 2.6MB. Is it completly out of
the question to have a compressed version of the tool on your memory
stick, and to decompress it on the examined computer before actually
running the tool?

Additional Python or wxPython tools packed using py2exe will only need a
few kilobytes if you all copy them to the same directory on the pen
drive. All these tools can share the same .pyd and .dll files.

Yes, the wxPython use the big files, and win32api do it too...
I need them, but wxPython is changeable to tkinter, because it is use
only one special thing: a wx.GenericDirCt rl (the user can choose file or
directory with this control in same way).
The last (compressed) version is 5 MB. That is better !
Thanx: dd
Since the target is Windows only, consider using win32gui
(part of Mark Hammonds win32 extensions) calls to use
native Windows controls. That way you can eliminate
wxWindows altogether. If all you need is a file dialog,
it isn't very difficult.
