From McMillan installer FAQ "Any pure Python is going to go into a .pyz, and the .pyz's will be packed into the STANDALONE." spec files are like the setup.py files in Py2exe: they tell PyInstaller what it has to do exactly (think about a director who tells PyInstaller: "Do not bundle Tk but use UPX and output everything in this directory") Toc and hook files should be files made during the creation process, a kind of "cache". That's what I think. Bye, S. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PyInstaller" group.
