It's exactly the goal of my script here (sorry for the blog post): http://grossac.org/index.php/2006/01/16/29--python-comment-inclure-des-donnees-dans-un-fichier-exe-cree-avec-py2exe and here : http://grossac.org/index.php/2006/02/12/34-data2py-petite-optimisation-et-remarque It's in French, I can help if you need. Take a look at Fredrik Lundh answer, it is very similar. code sample : In [6]:f = file("text.txt", "rb") In [7]:buff = f.read() In [8]:print "data = %s%s%s" % ('"""', buff.encode("zlib").encode("base64"), '"""') data = """eJxzys/Lyi8tUgQADecDAQ== """ You get a compressed, base64 encoded string, then add data = """...""" to your source code. In [9]:data = """eJxzys/Lyi8tUgQADecDAQ== .9.:""" In [10]:data.decode("base64").decode("zlib") Out[10]:'Bonjour!' If you want to create a .exe with files included, take a look at PyInstaller. Hope this helps. -- Florent Manens [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://grossac.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
