I am looking for a Python3.0 version of "py2exe". I tried running 2to3 on the source for py2exe but the code remained broken.
Any ideas?
If you want to build an executable from a working Python program, use the version of py2exe that is suitable for whichever Python you are using (version 2 or version 3).
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. To successfully complete this tutorial you'll need to know the basics of Python (you can get started at python.
In PyInstaller it is easy to create one exe, By default both create a bunch of exes & dlls. In py2exe its easier to embed manifest file in exe, useful for run as administrator mode in windows vista and beyond. Pyinstaller is modular and has a feature of hooks to include files in the build that you like.
Is py2exe safe to use? The python package py2exe was scanned for known vulnerabilities and missing license, and no issues were found. Thus the package was deemed as safe to use.
py2exe for Python 3.x is now released! Get it on PyPI.
Have a look at the py2exe SourceForge project SVN repository at:
http://py2exe.svn.sourceforge.net/
The last I looked at it, it said the last update was August 2009. But keep an eye on that to see if there's any Python 3 work in-progress.
I've also submitted two feature requests on the py2exe tracker. So far, no feedback on them:
