Renpy Launcher code? (or: Distributing python applications)

#1 Post by armornick » Thu Aug 25, 2011 7:10 am

Hey everyone

This question is mostly directed at PyTom but everyone with a decent knowledge of Python will probably be able to help me.

I was wondering how you created the renpy.exe. I'm interested in learning Python but only if I can make sure that the users of my applications aren't required to install python themselves.

I've read about Py2exe, using CPython and others, but I was wondering what advice you would give about distributing python applications? (primarily on Windows)

Thanks in advance for any insights

Ren'Py is built using py2exe. For a new project, I might use py2exe, or cx_Freeze - the latter seems to be better maintained.
