This way you will get down to 1-3 files: 1.) the singe file exe containing Python, your programm and the depending libraries 2.) 2 files from the Microsoft C-runtime. on recent Windows usually those C-Runtimes are present. To get them mangled into the single exe-file there is no ready made tool available; and the majority agrees that those libraries would not be licenced for this usage (they are licenced for redistribution). best wishes, Harald 2015-01-06 18:22 GMT+01:00 Harald Armin Massa[legacy] < haraldarminma...@gmail.com>: > John, > > you should read under > > http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/SingleFileExecutable > > 1 > <http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/SingleFileExecutable#CA-7615755cbd8c1a2a3a7d2b593a265f3ed4c42c76_1> > from distutils.core import setup 2 > <http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/SingleFileExecutable#CA-7615755cbd8c1a2a3a7d2b593a265f3ed4c42c76_2> > import py2exe, sys, os 3 > <http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/SingleFileExecutable#CA-7615755cbd8c1a2a3a7d2b593a265f3ed4c42c76_3> > 4 > <http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/SingleFileExecutable#CA-7615755cbd8c1a2a3a7d2b593a265f3ed4c42c76_4> > sys.argv.append('py2exe') 5 > <http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/SingleFileExecutable#CA-7615755cbd8c1a2a3a7d2b593a265f3ed4c42c76_5> > 6 > <http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/SingleFileExecutable#CA-7615755cbd8c1a2a3a7d2b593a265f3ed4c42c76_6> > setup( 7 > <http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/SingleFileExecutable#CA-7615755cbd8c1a2a3a7d2b593a265f3ed4c42c76_7> > options = {'py2exe': {'bundle_files': 1}}, 8 > <http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/SingleFileExecutable#CA-7615755cbd8c1a2a3a7d2b593a265f3ed4c42c76_8> > windows = [{'script': "single.py"}], 9 > <http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/SingleFileExecutable#CA-7615755cbd8c1a2a3a7d2b593a265f3ed4c42c76_9> > zipfile = None, 10 > <http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/SingleFileExecutable#CA-7615755cbd8c1a2a3a7d2b593a265f3ed4c42c76_10> > ) > > > the documented secret lies with the bundle_files option. > > This way you will get down to 1-3 files: > > 1.) the singe file exe containing Python, your programm and the depending > libraries > 2.) 2 files from the Microsoft C-runtime. > > 2015-01-06 17:59 GMT+01:00 John Sampson <jrs....@ntlworld.com>: > >> I tried py2exe but the executable file has to be in a specific folder >> along with many other files that py2exe generates.
