XP. Win 7, I hope, by the end of the day. Stuff is working under Win 7 from my transfer of it from a week or so ago. The only thing I left on XP was the py2exe stuff. I'm writing this from my Win 7 machine.

There's a big twist in this. I've verified that when I typed the name w/o py, it really executed it anyway. I did that with a py file that was never setup by py2exe. I then went to dist and fired up the compiled exe file and got a complaint matplotlib. It couldn't find its data files. Certainly the step in section 4, test your executable, has been of no use. Maybe I need to go to step 5? Perhaps I need the msvcr71.dll file. Forget that.It's in dist. Time to read more of 5.

Wayne,

I am assuming you are using Win 7 and I'll answer with that unless you tell me
you are using XP in which case I will walk over to my wife's desk and test
what I am telling you on her XP driven machine.

Assuming Windows 7.

Looking at your directory you should be using Windows Explorer. Click on
Organize then click on folder and search options. Then click on view. Make
sure the check box that says 'hide extensions for known file types' is not
clicked. Once that is done, all your file extensions (all of them) will be
seen and shown.

I'm sure you are right. I'm not sure what you mean about view
params.
Properties?

Subject: [Tutor] The Disappearing Program (py2exe)

I've successfully compiled several small python programs on Win
XP
into
executables using py2exe. A program goes from a name like
snowball.py to
snowball. A dir in the command prompt window finds snowball.py
but
not
snowball. If I type in snowball, it executes. What's up with
that?
