What is cx_Freeze? cx_Freeze is a set of utilities for freezing Python scripts into executables using many of the techniques found in Thomas Heller's py2exe, Gordon McMillan's Installer and the Freeze utility that ships with Python itself. Where do I get it? http://starship.python.net/crew/atuining http://www.computronix.com/utilities.shtml (it may be a few days before the second site is updated) What's new? 1) Add option (--ext-list-file) to FreezePython to write the list of extensions copied to the installation directory to a file. This option is useful in cases where multiple builds are performed into the same installation directory. 2) Pass the arguments on the command line through to Win32 GUI applications. Thanks to Michael Porter for pointing this out. 3) Link directly against the python DLL when building the frozen bases on Windows, thus eliminating the need for building an import library. 4) Force sys.path to include the directory in which the script to be frozen is found. 5) Make sure that the installation directory exists before attempting to copy the target binary into it. 6) The Win32GUI base has been modified to display fatal errors in message boxes, rather than printing errors to stderr, since on Windows the standard file IO handles are all closed. -- Anthony Tuininga anthony@computronix.com Computronix Distinctive Software.
