Was also going to mention pyInstaller - once it's installed, there'll be an executable in your python/scripts directory, and something like the following command line from your directory where your source is will try to generate a single file executable - something like the following: c:\python27\scripts\pyinstaller.exe scriptName.py --onefile
Not sure it also works perfectly with required files/libraries, etc., and generally stick to cx_freeze myself, but, this does work for a cleaner bit of output...<smile> Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA "Roger Wilco wants to welcome you...to the space janitor's closet..." ----- Original Message ----- From: J.D.

It therefore cannot be placed in any folder. As far as I can see cx-freeze produces a folder, not a single file. I am looking for a way of producing a single executable file that can be run in any folder, and nothing else - that is, standalone.

By 'standalone' I mean an executable file that can be placed in any folder and contains or finds the libraries, modules etc. that it depends on.
