Compiling for windows using pyinstaller (or alternatives?)

[Oon-Ee Ng]

So I've followed http://kivy.org/docs/guide/packaging-windows.html
using kivy-master on both python 2.7 and python 3.4, just trying out
the touchtracer example.

First I tried on wine (running on Linux) which gave ctypes errors,
which led me down a google rabbit hole, so I gave up.

In a virtual machine as well as in my windows dual boot, I could run
pyinstaller successfully, but the resulting exe would not run with the
following error:-
Error loading python DLL: C:\users\<my username>\Temp\_MEa89d.tmp\python34.dll

Any advise? Is there any other supported method for compiling to an
exe (py2exe or cxfreeze) for a kivy project?

So I got it working, but only with python2.7 (and needing the Tree
command for SDL2). Will have to test it out for my app first.

It worked once, but didn't include all my dependencies. Running it
again failed with an IOError. The 'successful' compile which didn't
include dependencies worked once I copied my dependencies in by hand.

I think there's a fundamental problem with my setup. Will have to
continue exploring.
