Dear Oscar: Frankly speaking, your response is the most friendly one. Thanks for

teaching me how to ask questions. As you can imagine, I am totally new in python or in programming. I put the whole thing in a rar file because I am afraid that people can not know what I wanna say and I am trying to open up everything to everyone who helps me. Hence, I didn't know that rar file may be used as a virus tool, cause I never have such idea.

In response to the following questions, here are my answers. 1) What you are trying to do I am trying to make a game based on python. This game is a poker game. I want to make people can put their face on the cards. Friends can play this game via internet or invite each other via FB account. Also, like playing with friends, I hope that people can place the bids on the table. The winner can take the bid, but these bids are not cashable. They can only be used as a record for fun. I do not know if I can make this or not, but I will try.

2) What steps you took This is the first step of the program. I am still working on sketch the draft of the program. The basic functions are done, but I think that I may add more functions to complete this program. This is just in the beginning. Things are fixed yet.

3) What is not working Since I have change the codes and make some basic functions, I would like to share this program with my friend. I would like to know what they think about this program and would like to know if I can still make changes(eg, functions, ideas) This is why I want to make the file an exe file.

I have make pygame2exe.py file. This is what appears in the end.

So, is this the correct way to ask questions?

No. There is no way that anyone can help you from that description. You need to explain specifically what you want help with not provide a general description of what you're trying to do.

To whom it may concern: I read the response on the link below: http://www.mail-archive.com/distutils-sig@python.org/msg13767.html

And I follow your instruction, but then the exe file has idled. The attachment is my screen cut. The complete file link is in below: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/63928380/blackjack.rar

Please don't post links to .rar files. The reason you got such an

unfriendly response on python-list is that instead of explaining your

You've attached your code this time, which is better, but you can't

expect someone to simply download your code files look through them, guess what you're trying to do and tell you how to make it work. You need to explain:

1) What you are trying to do 2) What steps you took 3) What is not working

Also, I think your problem is with py2exe, in which case you might have better luck using the py2exe-users mailing list: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/py2exe-users
