Shiram Karra, I am in no way experienced, but I do believe that pywin32 would not help with the first or second. In my opinion and experience, the easiest way to make the exe would be py2exe, and you should look to NSIS for making your installeer, as NSIS is fairly easy to use.<br>
Hoping I helped, Ninth.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, May 21, 2012 at 1:29 AM, Sriram Karra <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:karra.etc@gmail.com" target="_blank">karra.etc@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
I am working on a web application based on tornado and sqlalchemy that I want to distribute to Windows users so they can install and uninstall with zero pain and execute the program without needing to install anything else (including python or pywin32). After a bit of research it appears like there would be 2 distinct and perhaps totally unrelated parts of the problem:<div>
