Type  "python setup.py py2exe" at the command prompt not the idle prompt =
and read the documentation.

Subject: [Py2exe-users] newbie: need help with py2exe, here is what I've =
done...


Hi, I am having difficulty with py2exe. Here is what I have done: I =
simply downloaded the executable (py2exe-0.5.0.win32-py2.3.exe) and =
executed it, wrote the setup script (setup.py), and typed on the IDLE =
command line:
=20
      '>>> python setup.py py2exe'
=20
I get this message:
=20
      '>>> python setup.py py2exe
      SyntaxError: invalid syntax'
=20
If I run the setup.py from IDLE by pressing 'F5' I get this message:
=20
Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "C:/Documents and Settings/jeffp/My Documents/Python =
Applications/EX Kalculator/setup.py", line 6, in -toplevel-
    setup(windows =3D ["wxAppEXKalc.py"], name =3D "SeaKalc", version =
=3D "1.0")
  File "C:\Python23\lib\distutils\core.py", line 137, in setup
    raise SystemExit, gen_usage(dist.script_name) + "\nerror: %s" % msg

   or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
   or: setup.py --help-commands
   or: setup.py cmd --help
=20
error: no commands supplied
=20
=20
This is setup.py:
=20
      #setup.py
      from distutils.core import setup
      import py2exe
=20
      setup(windows =3D ["wxAppEXKalc.py"], name =3D "SeaKalc", version =
=3D "1.0")
=20
I wrote the applications 'wxAppEXKalc.py' using the boa constructor and =
wxpython, it has only 1 parent frame and 2 dialogs, it uses Numeric, os, =
and re.  I read the py2exe documentation although I am still struggling =
as I am a newbie. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!!
