Python py2exe

• install python2.7 (non-portable)
• install py2exe (non-portable)
• write your python script (myscript.py)
• write an installer script:

Compile Code only (no external dependencies)

#!/usr/bin/python2
#-------------------
#
# Build binary with the source code and this script in the same directory and then:
#	python2 setup.py py2exe


from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe, sys

setup(console=['myscript.py'])

Compile With Dependencies (x86 only)

#!/usr/bin/python2
#-------------------
#
# Build binary with the source code and this script in the same directory and then:
#	python2 setup.py py2exe


from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe, sys

setup(
options = {'py2exe': {'bundle_files': 1, 'compressed': True}},
console = [{'script': 'myscript.py'}],
zipfile = None,
)

• rewrite your path environment variable (maybe it gets confused with multiple installations?)
  • PATH;"C:/python27";
• navigate to your folder (any folder) with both setup.py and myscript.py in cmd
• python setup.py py2exe
• A new folder called dist will be created with your executable.
