Just want to add to that...<br><br>As of the day before yesturday I've been using pyInstaller rather then py2exe(which I've used the last few months) I've found some bug that I can't figure out and dont really care to put effort into fixing..
<br><br>When I run a py.exe using py2exe from the start menu and the user enters any input.. program crashes without errors.<br>When I run a py.exe directly from the command line, it runs flawless.<br>When I run the script from either the start menu or the command line, it runs flawless.
<br><br>I appreciate pyInstaller giving a little more interesting icon to my .exe also... but thats just being picky and lazy.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 11/15/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Chris Hengge</b>

<br><br>I'm working on pushing "agile language"... I personally think its more appropriate then scripting =D
