I'm personally not to picky... I just want the tool to work, and like I said, for some reason I'm having trouble running very simple scripts from py2exe, which I dont seem to have while using pyInstaller. I've even written a drag and drop front-end for it (had one for py2exe too) to make using it stupidly easy.
<br><br>It really does boggle my mind how people can be so wierd when asked to run something that isn't a .exe... Guess its a side-effect of the windows generation. <br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 11/16/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">

[Chris Hengge]<br><br>| Because alot of the users here at Intel dont want to admit<br>| you can write usable programs in a "scripting" language.. so<br>| when they see a .exe they feel comfy...<br><br>One option which could help there -- although your

<br>does: you still need to have python on the target<br>machine. But it does provide an .exe of your<br>program (which, behind the scenes, loads up the<br>Python dll in the same way that the python.exe<br>would have done in the first place).
<br><br>Thst way, the .exe-comfortable user sees a .exe<br>without the extra work of py2exe/installer etc.<br><br>TJG<br><br>________________________________________________________________________<br>This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star. The
