The handler is working fine when running it as a Python source file.
However, I would like to create an executable containing all the
dependencies, so it can be run on PCs that don't have Python installed.
I can't get this to work. I have tried using py2exe and pyinstaller,
with various setup.py and spec file examples, and nothing seems to work.

Are you testing this on a 64-bit system?  Remember that your 64-bit
process will only work on 64-bit systems.

Yes, Windows and Python are both 64 bit. Note that the handler works fine as a python file, just not as an executable.

What actually happens when you try to run it?

I guess I should have been more specific there... ;-) I have py2exe or pyinstaller create an executable; this registers itself without any error messages, and registry entries do appear in the registry. However, no context menu item appears, and nothing I tried showed any evidence of my code being run.

I don't know nearly enough of Windows programming to have even an idea of what could be wrong, or debug further.

Gertjan.
