Make an *.EXE Using Python.

[G. Willoughby]

thanks that works great! but one more question... i have compiled my script
to an .exe BUT is there a way of getting rid of the console window. i tried:

pythonw setup.py py2exe

instead of

python setup.py py2exe

but this only copied the 'tcl' dir to the 'dist' dir! any ideas???
