Re: [pygame] Movies in .exe

I think what he's wanting is bundling his data files in the .exe. ie

[game files]
Game/Source.py
Game/Data/Mpeg.mpg

[run setup]
python setup.py

You get this exe with all the data files included into it:
Game.exe

The stuff above looks like its only for including source files and such.

You can use py2exe's "bundle my files" parameter.  That adds the zip
file to the exe.  Browse around in the py2exe docs and examples, it'll
tell you how to do it and how to get a file pointer back out.
