compile files

[William Warren]

    I need to compile a Python file from PyScripter but my computer will only save as a regular script.

py2exe is your friend. py2exe.org

Kiriakos, has direct support of py2exe been considered?

Best to all,

If your script does any gathering of directories or path be aware I am having a monumental failure that goes unresolved. My script does the following:

Asks for: 

Source Drive

Destination Drive

Destination Folder to create

Filename to save data

Extension we are searching for (i.e. txt)

from here it basically uses walk to look for what I asked, in this case, files with the extension 'txt'

Having wrote the script called KWS.py and tested it using pyscripter I was confident it passed the tests for functionality. It did all it was created to do. Now wanted to share with my friends and family. 

Here is the part that concerns py2exe, it successfully created my executable called, KWS.exe. Unfortunately it crashed and spit out this error:

The amount of time researching this failure is ridiculous compared to the time spent writing the script, and I continue to search the web for why this is happening.

So there is my testing of py2exe.
