What is py2exe

py2exe turns Python programs into packages that can be run on other Windows computers without needing to install Python on those computers. You must run py2exe on a Windows computer. Python is needed on the computer where py2exe itself is run because py2exe is a Python program and it includes parts of Python in the package that is built.

Installation

pip3 install py2exe

Template

Write a program and save it as demo.py:

print('Hello World')

Save the following template as demo_setup.py:

import py2exe
from distutils.core import setup

setup(
	options={'py2exe' : {'bundle_files' : 1, 'compressed' : True}},
	console=[{'script' : 'demo.py'}],
	zipfile=None,
)

Pack:

python3 .\demo_setup.py py2exe

A dist folder will be generated and it contains everything we need to run the executable.
