py2exe

I use this bit of code in my script to pinpoint, in a cross-platform way, where exactly it's being run from: SCRIPT_ROOT = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)) Pretty simple. I then go on to use SCRIPT_ROOT in other areas of my script to make sure everything is properly relative. My problem occurs when I run it through py2exe, because the generated executable doesn't set __file__ , therefore my script breaks. Does anyone know how to fix or work around this? Here is the py2exe documentation reference and here are the relevant items: sys.executable is set to the full pathname of the exe

I'm currently trying to make an executable using py2exe. I use Python 3.6. The script I'm using imports openpyxl and pptx and runs fine when I use Pycharm or run the script using the command window. The output produces the error: IndexError: tuple index out of range Below you can find the cmd output: C:\Python36>python setup.py py2exe running py2exe Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 4, in <module> setup(console=['Storybookmaker.py']) File "C:\Python36\lib\distutils\core.py", line 148, in setup dist.run_commands() File "C:\Python36\lib\distutils\dist.py", line 955, in run

trying to call a python script on Vba and I am a newb. I tried converting the main script to an exe using py2exe and then calling it from VBA (shell) but the main script calls other scripts therefore it becomes complicated and I messed it up (my exe is not functional). Besides, the the main script is a large file and I do not want to revise it a lot. Bottomline, is there a way to call the main script from excel vba, without converting the script to an exe file. So far, I tried: RetVal = Shell("C:\python27\python.exe " & "import " & "C:\\" & "MainScriptFile") It starts python.exe but does

I am looking for a Python3.0 version of "py2exe". I tried running 2to3 on the source for py2exe but the code remained broken. Any ideas? Update 2014-05-15 py2exe for Python 3.x is now released! Get it on PyPI . Old information Have a look at the py2exe SourceForge project SVN repository at: http://py2exe.svn.sourceforge.net/ The last I looked at it, it said the last update was August 2009. But keep an eye on that to see if there's any Python 3 work in-progress. I've also submitted two feature requests on the py2exe tracker. So far, no feedback on them: Support Python 3.x Project roadmap Titusz

This question already has an answer here: Create a single executable from a Python project 2 answers I wrote a script that will help a Windows user in her daily life. I want to simply send her the .exe and not ask her to install python, dlls or have to deal with any additional files. I've read plenty of the stackoverflow entries regarding compiling Python scripts into executable files. I am a bit confused as there are many options but some seem dated (no updates since 2008) and none were simple enough for me not to be asking this right now after a few hours spent on this. I'm hoping there's a
