?Hello,

This sounds nice, I will try soon. Until now, I've always used py2exe in order 
to provide "standalone" windows version of my python-pygame scripts. What are 
the pros and cons, in your opinion, to use py2exe or a method like pynsist ?


Thanks,

Yann

I've mentioned this on the list before, but some changes since then have made 
it easier to use with Pygame.

Pynsist (https://pynsist.readthedocs.io/ ) is an open source tool to build 
Windows installers for Python applications. It's based on the popular NSIS 
installer system, which makes it possible to build installers even on Linux or 
Mac systems.

Pynsist can now download wheels from PyPI to include in an installer. Since 
pygame has (beta) Windows wheels, it's much easier to include Pygame in an 
installer than last time I posted here. Here's an example of building an 
installer for the 'aliens' example game:

I'm happy to answer questions about it here, on Github, and on Stackoverflow 
(tag: pynsist).

Thanks,
Thomas
