Re: [Py2exe-users] py2exe won't produce an exe file.

Thanks for responding,

I don't have a problem producing an exe file.  The=20
problem has been narrowed down to my last post.


I made the set up is as simple as I can get it.;
the setup builds the dist dir and the build dir.=20
But the dis dir only contains the tcl dir and=20
nothing else.

Correctly built it will contain lib.zip,=20
msvcr71.dll and other stuff along with an exe=20
file.

There is an error in what I submitted below but I=20
haven't been able to find it.=20

## setup is below should produce an exe file if=20
the TESTPRT.py is valid.

>import sys

### below is the code for TESTPRT.py that will run=20
from IDLE and print,   "Test Line Sent".

but when running setup.py, it does not produce the=20
expected exe file or anything else.

##TESTPRINT.py=20
