Answer 1

I don't know your py2exe tool, but we usually use this way to convert py to exe:

1. Download and install Standard Python Software: http://www.python.org/download/

2. Download PyInstaller via link below: http://pyinstaller.python-hosting.com/

3. Unpack the archive, that you have downloaded! In this examople, the directory of the unpacked files:

4. In the directory, run Configure.py. It must be run before trying to build anything.

5. Create a spec file for your project:

   python Makespec.py -F -p  
     -F: Produce a single file deployment.
     -p : Set base path for import (like using PYTHONPATH).
        ( e.g.: C:\Program Files\Python24\Lib\ )
     : Path to python script.
   

6 Build your project!

    python Build.py 
      : Path to the specfile, that have been created in step 4! 

    The full path to :
      //.spec

7. The binary file will be placed in the directory of .
