py2exe dll file

Indigo Moon Man

The .dll file that py2exe creates to go with the program is huge even for a
small program. Is there any way to possibly optomize the .dll file to make
it smaller?

Hello,

small program. Is there any way to possibly optomize the .dll file to make
it smaller?

Which dll? Depending on your program it might have several dlls in the
dist/prog directory.

If size does matter you might want to try upx
(http://upx.sourceforge.net/). With --best it reduced python23.dll
from 952k to 386k and my proram seems to work.

HTH.

Oh, the one I have compiled only produced one (python23.dll) so I didn't
know that.
