I'm trying to make an exe of a simple Pygame program.
Here's the setup.py <http://setup.py/>:

setup(windows=["lunarlander.py <http://lunarlander.py/>"])
shutil.copyfile('moonsurface.png', 'dist/moonsurface.png')
shutil.copyfile('lunarlander2.png', 'dist/lunarlander2.png')
shutil.copyfile('C:/Python25/Lib/site-packages/pygame/

Maybe I'm a loser, but I generally keep the setup.py script short.
If I've got to move files, I do that from a bat script which can
call my Windows installer compiler too (inno, my case).
A good reason to keep this stuff in python (regardless of whether it
is in setup.py or not) is portability. bat files only work on
Windows. But then again, absolute paths (especially ones that use
drive letters) are highly non-portable anyhow no matter what language
they're in (even on different machines that are running Windows).
