Hello
I am sure most of you are familiar with py2exe. I am having a bit of a
problem. See the program has a few pictures involved and the .ico it uses
for the windows. However, the pictures are stored in the same directory as
the source, something like: C:\Docs and settings\me\My docs\python\program.
When I run the program for the interpreter, just as a .py, everything works
just as it should. However, when I compile the main source as an .exe, and
say let a friend try the program. It fails because it is missing the .ico.
The catch, is I don't want to have it have to installed, at least at this
point, I want it to be able to just run. So how can I make it just run from
any computer with the files not being in the immediate directory. If that is
not possible, how can I put them in the immediate directory and still make
it work. Because that directory may change a lot so the path will change.
Just a few questions. I hope someone out there can help me out!

Put the part of the code that needs the ico file(s) into a try/except
block. You could also try reading the py2exe wiki and tutorials. This
one looks like it has relevant data: http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/CustomIcons

Well, that may solve the icon problem. But what about getting pictures in
there?

Okay, the icon fix didn't really fix it, what it did was make the .exe have
the icon as the little picture for the shortcut, but it isn't really a
shortcut. Whatever. But, I went and ran it on another computer and this was
the error log it created right off the bat.

Crumb! I actually use a GUI wrapper for py2exe called GUI2Exe which
makes this sort of thing much easier. Unfortunately, it also makes me
less knowledgeable. You can check it out here: http://xoomer.alice.it/infinity77/main/GUI2Exe.html
Also, there's a distutils group and a py2exe group. Both of them would
know a lot more about how to do this. https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/...o/py2exe-users http://www.python.org/community/sigs...tils-sig/list/

Windows can't read minds. The icon's/pictures have to either be in the same
directory as the .exe or the .exe has to have a way to find them in another
folder (e.g. via .ini config file).
Takw a few minutes and go to: http://jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php
It is a free Windows installer that I use to take py2exe, icons, pictures,
..ini files, documentation, etc and wrap it all up into a nice, neat package that
can be distributed as a single .exe. It will take a couple of hours, but it
will be hours well spent (especially if you think you will do this more than once).
