[Visualpython-users] executable

[Bruce S. <bas...@un...>]

I received this question from a user working on Windows XP, and I 
wondered whether someone has an answer I could pass on (and I should add 
it to the FAQ). Arthur Siegel successfully made an executable some time 
ago; Arthur, can you recapitulate what you did? Did you use py2exe or 
some other tool? Thanks.

Hello, I just started playing around with VPython, and I have to say:  
wow, you guys are doing an excellent job.
I do a have one question, regarding executable file generation. Is it 
possible to generate an executable file from a Python source code file 
that utilizes VPython? I tried using  py2exe to compile one of your 
demos(stars.py, also tried bounce.py with same results), but I ran into 
some problems. Running py2exe does generate an exe file, however I was 
unable to actually run the executable file on my machine. When py2exe 
was running I got the following warning messages:
 
warning: py2exe: * The following modules were not found:
warning: py2exe: *   Carbon.Folder
warning: py2exe: *   Carbon.Folders
warning: py2exe: *   dotblas
warning: py2exe: *   fcntl
warning: py2exe: *   readline
 
Could this have something to do with the executable file not running?
 
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
