Re: [Visualpython-users] Visual Python & py2exe compile error.

[Chris C. <scc...@gm...>]

Derek,

with some python modules, py2exe doesnt bring along enough of the
backend and you'll run into missing file issues quite often. (this is
especially true of the ETS tool suite). I prefer a program called
bbfreeze: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/bbfreeze/0.95.4

your application will be larger, because it brings along EVERYTHING
that is imported whether it is used or not. (this can be configured in
the setup scripts however). But because of this, you dont get missing
file issues.

Try it, (i've never used it on vpython) and let me know if you need any help.

BTW, you spelled "foreign" wrong in your directory path ;)
