Hi, I'm totally new to PyInstaller, thanks for the fantastic program! Even though I am a newbee, I feel I got to share a very specific Git + Windows + PyInstaller issue that I've been lucky to solve rapidly.
Context: I wanted to PyInstall, on Windows (i.e. to produce a win executable) a program I am developing on Linux. The source of this program is on Github, so I first installed Git for Windows: http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/ When the installer asks about the "line ending conversions", I chose "Checkout as-is, commit Unix-style line endings" (2nd one). Next I git clone (1) PyInstaller (latest version) and (2) my program. I went to compile it, but I got this error: "TypeError: ('compile() expected string without null bytes', ) during install" Reading some comments about this error, I began to suspect that it might be related to the line endings Git option, so I went back and reinstalled it with the first option (Checkout Windows-style) and re-cloned my two git repos. And it worked.. I thought I might share this information, in the hope that it might be useful; really sorry if it's been already discussed elsewhere.
