i can't understand why to need for supplying command as it is GUI based application but it worked fine first time and then it gives above error. please help..........
The problem is that you are compiling this script from the Python IDLE. This is not how it is done with py2exe
. If you have used Disutils
before, you might have seen this:
python setup.py install
.
And same is the case of py2exe
, you run it from the command line and not the IDLE. So open up cmd
and then issue the command:
python setup.py py2exe
Here setup.py
is your script file.
This is better explained in the tutorial.
