py2exe to generate dlls?

Question

Is there a way using py2exe or some other method to generate dll files instead of exe files?

I would want to basically create a normal win32 dll with normal function

Answer 1

It looks like it is possible to generate a COM DLL from py2exe:

http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/Py2exeAndCtypesComDllServer

  23     my_com_server_target = Target(
  24     description = "my com server",
  25     # use module name for ctypes.com dll server
  26     modules = ["dir.my_com_server"],
  27     # the following line embeds the typelib within the dll
  28     other_resources = [("TYPELIB", 1, open(r"dir\my_com_server.tlb", "rb").read())],
  29     # we only want the inproc (dll) server
  30     create_exe = False
  31     )
