Hello!


Up to there, 'setup.py' looks ok.  But the command:

    python setup.py py2exe

is not meant to be run in your Python script --- you'll need to take that
out.  Instead, that last command is meant to be used from the Windows
command prompt.

If you're running Win2k, I believe you can get to a prompt by going to the
Start menu, selecting the "Run" command, and type 'cmd' in the box.  From
there, a console window should pop up.  It's at that console window that
you can type 'python setup.py py2exe'.
