Re: [pygame] Create an exe

I am trying to create a standalone Windows exe for a

I wouldn't mess with pygame2exe -- I never got it to work. Try this:
In the main Python directory, run:
python setup.py py2exe
Where setup.py consists of:
# setup.py
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(console=["MyProgram.py"])
And where all your .py files are in the main Python directory itself.
First delete any existing "dist" and "build" directories, so that extra
code doesn't get packaged into the program's library.zip. Some programs
seem to require "FREESANSBOLD.TTF" in same directory as the EXE (when
running) and possibly the code (when compiling); this is a Windows font.
Once the program is compiled (it may give you warnings), put any extra
files you need, like graphics, into the new "dist" directory and run the
EXE there.
