cx_Freeze 2.2

[Anthony Tuininga]

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?

(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.
