I am just finished with my script in Python and i want my collegues to use it as well. It runs in python 2.7 Windows 7 64 bit professional env. Now comes the question:

How can i make them use my script in an easy way?

  • First choice is the hard way, making them install python on their machines and then install paramiko,Tkinter . I had a very hard time finding & installing these modules (especially for windows binary files) and do not want to suffer from the same issues again.

  • I am a newbie in this environment and I think there would be practical solutions to this problem. So i wanted to ask you guys , any ideas appreciated.

You can use py2exe(windows), py2app(Mac OS X) or cx_freeze to convert your application to an executable.

cx_Freeze is cross platform and should work on any platform that Python itself works on.

py2exe does not work. actually it works on my computer but fails in my collegue's pc. I cannot see the error since it closes the window immediately. i will try cx_freeze , let you guys know about the result. thanks for your help.

use cx_freeze i checked it.

cx_Freeze is a module used to create the python scripts into an executable(.exe) file. It is very easy method.

  1. Download and install cx_Freeze windows binary for your python version from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

  2. Find the location of the your source code folder. for example- I created a test.py and stored it in c:\samp. c:\samp\test.py

    x="hai this is an exe file created from python scripts using cxfreeze. Press Enter to exit >> " y=input(x)

  3. Create a folder to store the build file(.exe and other files). for eg- i created a folder c:\samp\build\

  4. Open Command Prompt(start->run type "cmd" press enter) and type console

    C:\Documents and Settings\suh>c:\python32\scripts\cxfreeze c:\samp\test.py --target-dir=c:\samp\build

for more options type C:\Documents and Settings\suh>c:\python32\scripts\cxfreeze -help
