OK, I'm on Win7.&nbsp; From the py2exe tutorial,&nbsp; I've found that&nbsp; hello.exe
works as expected by the
tutorial. That file is in the dist folder. <br>
I've now tried this program,
pylab_scatter.py:<br>
<br>
<blockquote>#!/usr/bin/env python<br>
from pylab import *<br>
  <br>
N = 30<br>
x = 0.9*rand(N)<br>
y = 0.9*rand(N)<br>
area = pi*(10 * rand(N))**2 # 0 to 10 point radiuses<br>
scatter(x,y,s=area, marker='^', c='r')<br>
  <br>
show()<br>
</blockquote>
It runs properly in IDLE.<br>
==============================<br>
It appears to compile properly. Now from the cmd prompt window:<br>
C:\Users\Wayne\Sandia_Meteors\Sentinel_Development\Learn_Python\Py2exe_Test\dist&gt;pylab_scatter.exe<br>
Traceback (most recent call last):<br>

==================================<br>
I Googled this&nbsp; py2exe message "RuntimeError: Could not find the

available for matplotlib. <br>
