I'm brand new to p2exe. I just downloaded release 0.6.5 from <http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=15583> and am trying to follow the tutorial at <http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/Tutorial> I believe I've installed p2exe, but can't get my setup.py to do anything. Here it is: =========================== #setup.py from distutils.core import setup import py2exe setup(console=['1keyPress-b5.py']) =========================== It's in my E:\Python24. 1keyPress-b5.py is there as well. I've tried to run it with this command (see <http://www.rcblue.com/Python/RunP2exeSetup.png>), but the console window just appears and disappears in a flash, and I get this error: <http://www.rcblue.com/Python/p2exe-error.png>. I tried double-clicking on the setup.py icon; the console window flashes a bit more slowly, and with no errors messages appearing. Evidence the install process was completed seems to be the existence of py2exe-wininst.log in E:\Python24, the last line (line 103) of which is "*** Installation finished 2006/08/29 01:29 ***"; and Removepy2exe.exe in the same folder. I also see I have the folder E:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\py2exe Help, please. Dick Moores rd...@rc... Win XP, Python 2.43 |

Where the tutorial shows C:\Tutorial>python setup.py py2exe it means that you have opened up a console ("Command Prompt") window, been prompted with the default prompt (current_drive:current_working_directory>) and then you've typed in the command "python setup.py py2exe" ... > > Evidence the install process was completed seems to be the existence > of py2exe-wininst.log in E:\Python24, the last line (line 103) of > which is "*** Installation finished 2006/08/29 01:29 ***"; and > Removepy2exe.exe in the same folder. Correct but nothing to do with your output exe file. There should be a Removeblahblahblah.exe for every module/package that you've installed. Move your app to its own directory, so that you can see what's going on, and you don't stuff up the Python installation directory. > > I also see I have the folder E:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\py2exe That is the py2exe package, not your output exe file. Run your setup.py at the command line, and you'll see where the output goes ... or you could read the log file :-) HTH, John |

According to the first picture, you typed this into a Run box: E:\Python24>python setup.py py2exe With the ">" in there, it is certainly not a valid command. As more or less expected, the second picture says: Windows cannot find 'E:\Python24>python' If you typed "E:\Python24>python setup.py py2exe" at the command prompt, that would *not* have "worked".

Well then tell us something more precise than "can't get py2exe to work" and we might be able to help you. I assure you that having apps in their own directories is quite normal and usual and should be part of your salvation, not part of the problem. Cheers, John |

I did send it to myself. Here's what it said: "Sorry folks, to have bothered you. After posting I tried using that other window, "Command Prompt". Everything went as the tutorial said it would, and 1keyPress-b5.exe works perfectly. Now, can I assume that if it works ok on my Win XP computer, it will work on friends' Win XP and Win 2000 boxes?" I've sent off a couple of EXEs to a couple of friends, and should be hearing from them soon. > > At 03:51 AM 8/29/2006, John Machin wrote: > >> On 29/08/2006 7:25 PM, Dick Moores wrote: > >>> I'm brand new to p2exe.

Just now I again created a folder in Python24 in which to carry out the use of py2exe, "For_py2exe_setup.py". Into it I moved setup.py and a python script. This is what happened: ======================================= E:\Python24\For_py2exe_setup.py>python setup.py py2exe 'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. E:\Python24\For_py2exe_setup.py> ======================================== Because "E:\Python24>python setup.py py2exe" DOES work when those 2 files are in Python24, my guess is that I don't have Python in my Windows path. If so, how do I get it in there? (Win XP) Thanks, Dick Moores |

Try "sheer common sense" for a start. Imagine what your E:\Python24 directory is going to look like after your 10th app. Imagine what will happen when you decide to upgrade to Python 2.5.
