Help me with py2exe

Question

I made my program, and tested it in Command Prompt(by entering in the directory). Then I made a set up file, and put the setup file and my program in the same folder.

My setup file:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

setup(console=['C:\Python26\test\testprogram.py'])

I went to run the setup program in command prompt(by entering in the directory and got the following error:

What am I doing wrong?

Also this program contains several pictures and modules, could this be linked to that?

Answer 1

The setup file is used to build / install files for distribution. you need to provide command to setup.py : "./setup.py command" Go through, http://wiki.python.org/moin/Distutils/Tutorial and others on google search to understand it.

Py2Exe is an additional command to DistUtils, that creates standalone distributions for Win32.

so in your case it should be

setup.py py2exe
