[Py2exe-users] Just some general questions

[Thadeus B. <tha...@th...>]

Hello, first time using py2exe and I have some general questions that I was
unable to find answers to by searching. Just a side note, I love py2exe, I
don't think any other programming language has a utility that makes it this
easy to package code for the end users. (c++ is hell, java is a joke, c# and
vb require .NET period). I congradulate those who have worked on py2exe for
making something extremely special.

1) What is the real difference for using zipfile=None or not, besides
everything being packed into one exe. Is there any performance difference?

2) What exactly do the different levels of optimize do and which is best? I
read on the wiki that 2 means the bytecode is not optimized, what does 0 and
1 do?

3) Is there a way to tell py2exe to automatically pull the **binary
dependencies** into your program ? ( for example, pygame.rect is a **binary
dependency** that does not get pulled in, I have to manually copy it each
time )
