[Tutor] Py2exe Problem

[Alberto Troiano]

Hey

Thanks for the docs
I finally was able to make a good compilation
After I freezed Pmw into pmw.py I had to restart Python (Ctrl-Alt-Del and 
terminate all python process that were running, by the way why they still 
stay there and how can I terminate them?)
and only then the compilation didn't include the Pmw library inside the dist 
folder that py2exe creates. But I made a compilation a few months before (I 
didn't remember how to compile with Pmw) and I remembered that I had to copy 
inside the dist folder all the images I was using and of course de pmw.py 
and pmwblt.py and pmwcolor.py also

This is in case you want to make a compilation and you have the same 
problems I had

Best Regards to all

>If you are sure that your application does not use any of the Pmw.Blt or
