Hi Ryan,
It took me about a year to cotton onto it as well.
So, I wrote a script for my friend, and wanted to send it as an exe.
The script I wrote was called disco_spider.py.
I assume you've installed py2exe?
What I then had to do was create another Python script called setup.py
in the same directory as disco_spider.py, this is what setup.py looks
like:
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(
# The first three parameters are not required, if at least a
# 'version' is given, then a versioninfo resource is built from
# them and added to the executables.
version = "0.5.0",
description = "Custom built copier of things.",
name = "Disco Spider",
# targets to build
console = ["disco_spider.py"]
)
After that, I open up a DOS prompt, and go to the directory
disco_spider.py and setup.py are in and I type:
python setup.py py2exe
at the command prompt. This runs py2exe, which, if everything goes
well, creates a subfolder called dist. Everything in dist is what you
need to distribute your script.
Good luck,
Liam Clarke
