though official py2exe download page says they have exactly what I need:
So how to install py2exe over pip?
It is missing from pypi, if you click on the 0.6.9 link it brings you to the 0.9.2.0 python 3 package, there seems to be no 0.6.9 package available to download.
Try using pip install http://sourceforge.net/projects/py2exe/files/latest/download?source=files
There is also a wheel of py2exe available for Python 2.x: py2exe_py2 0.6.9
You can do: pip install py2exe_py2
Pypi link.
I'm using Anacona, and I install py2.7 via its environments feature, so previous answers were not helpful to me.
--------------------------- Cannot install ---------------------------
Python version 2.7 required, which was not found in the registry.
The following is the command I used, it can install py2exe via command line.
pip install https://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/project/py2exe/py2exe/0.6.9/py2exe-0.6.9.zip
...
Successfully installed py2exe-0.6.9
Cause py2exe requires Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0, so before installing, you should download and install it, by convenience, via this link
Hope this could be helpful, Thx.
You may try using pip3. Or if pip3 is not installed or not found, try: python3 -m pip install py2exe.
you can directly download py2exe for python 2.7 from here
