py2exe - change name of exe created

[imageguy]

I have a setup script like this;

setup(windows = [{"script":"myprogram.py",
"icon_resources":[(0,"nabbitt.ico")],
"other_resources": [(24,1,manifest)]}
],
name = "Nabbitt ver 0.1",
data_files = [("",rootdata)],
zipfile = None,
options = {"py2exe": {
"compressed" : 1,
"dll_excludes": ["w9xpopen.exe"], #should also exclude
MSVCR71.dll
"bundle_files": 3 # 1=Single .exe, 2=.exe with
pythonXX.dll
}
},
)

"bundle_files": 3
}
},
)
Note that every thing works fine with this and creates an exe program
called
"myprogram.exe"

I would like to setup program to create an output called;
"MyBestProgram.exe"

IS that at all possible ?

ADD this to the end of your script:

import os
os.rename('dist/myprogram.exe','dist/MyBestProgram.exe')

Yes. Use a 'dest_base' key in the dictionary, like so:

setup(windows = [{"script":"myprogram.py",
"icon_resources":[(0,"nabbitt.ico")],

"dest_base": "MyBestProgram",

"other_resources": [(24,1,manifest)]}

....

'dest_base' is the basename of the destination program that py2exe creates.

Thanks.
I really appreciate the response.
Where would I find that in the docs ? Thought I had searched
everywhere.
