Hey All,

I've just discovered http://cx-freeze.sourceforge.net/

Looks like py2exe has been discontinued. It may be time to look at alternatives to produce windows exes.

py2exe was badly documented and semi-abandoned 8 years ago when I first started using it, and this cx-freeze looks like a much better maintained one. We should absolutely switch to it.

We should file a ticket about this and, if possible, try to get this done for 2.1. I dont like relying on abandoned software and hacking around problems in it.

http://code.google.com/p/gui2exe/ seems to unify and provide a nice
GUI way of creating packages.. be it py2exe, cx_freeze, pyinstaller or
py2app (mac).

I'll look into these options, and see how they work/perform.
