Re: [pygame] Create an exe

[David <dvkeeney@xxxxxxxxx>]

I went through this process recently, and documented what worked for me, at:
http://www.livejournal.com/users/pduel/10880.html

The difficulties I had were with OpenGL, so if you use that, my
comments may be useful.  Otherwise, Kris's comments probably cover
what you need to know.
