[Tutor] CREATING A PR.EXE FROM A PR.PY

[Jack Anema]

Can you or someone give me very specific instructions as to how to create an      _.EXE      file from a       _.PY      file.

I have spent a lot of time looking through all 7 sections of FAQ's at     http://www.python.org/doc/faq/    and many other sights.

I have also gone to     http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/py2exe/      and tried to use the general comments there.

I did download and install     *win-py2.4.exe .    This installed successfully as far as I can see.  There were no error messages and        REMOVEPY2EXE.EXE      was created in my      PYTHON24     folder.

The machine I am running, is running    XP professional, 2002.  It has a Pentiuum(R) 4, 1.8 Ghz CPU.  The drive has 37 GB free.

I am by no means a computer expert but I am not illiterate either.  I have used MS Quick Basic for many years.  In the past I have also used APL and Fortran on various machines over the years.  I just am not familiar enough with Python and have not been able to find the detailed data I need to do what I want.  Up to a month ago I had never heard of Python and I badly need the ability to make      *.PY     programs files run as     *.EXE            files.

Can you or someone supply the very specific instructions to do this?  I would also be perfectly willing to arrange with someone to call them at their convenience and do it over the phone and compensate the person for their effort and time.

I sincerely and very much appreciate anyone's response and help!  Thank you!
Jack Anema.
