I never would have started to learn python with out the option of py2exe, now i love it and would HATE to have to go back to some lesser language. IMHO. so thank you as well Well, it's all very well singing Thomas' praises, but what's really needed here is someone who'll maintain the code base! I would urge the hordes of py2exe users to consider if they couldn't give up a little time to keep the software in shape now Thomas no longer has the time. regards Steve I've been watching similar things in other projects ... The nice thing about open source is that you don't have to have somebody taking over straight away ... I suspect that what will happen is somebody will want to do something new with the code some time, or fix a number of bugs, and at that point they will volunteer...

[python-win32] Getting tired with py2exe
I'm slowly getting tired maintaining py2exe. It is far from perfect, although it has interesting features (I would say). The problem, apart from the work, is that it is good enough for me - I can do everything that I need with it. But I assume I use far less libaries than other Python programmers, so a lot of bugs will never bite me. It is also interesting that the recently introduced bundle-files option, which allows to build single-file exes has gained a lot of interest - although the ONLY use case (so far) I have myself for it is to implement inproc COM servers which will compatible with Python clients (and other Python inproc COM servers) because of the total isolation of the Python VMs. Is anyone interested in taking over the maintainance, documentation, and further development? Should py2exe be integrated into another, larger, package? Pywin32 comes to mind, but also Philip Eby's setuptools (that's why I post to distutils-sig as well)...
