Py2Exe: DLL load failed

Question

When trying to use py2exe to convert a simple Python game I made into exe format, it gave me the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File \         


        

Answer 1

From your comments, I see that you are doing this in the command prompt:

setup.py py2exe 

from the py2exe tutorial's third step, you should be doing this instead (in the command promt):

python setup.py py2exe

A second look at the comments on the original question shows that this suggestion has already been made. +1 to joaquin to for this.

To try to answer your question again: Joaquin also mentioned that this might be a path issue. Rather than trying to fix that, you might want to consider the easier option of copying your python files into C:\Python. Then in the command prompt:

cd C:\Python
python setup.py py2exe

This has always worked for me

Hope this helps
