Question

I have successfully converted my .py script to .exe but the problem is that it wont get executed when I press the .exe icon. A black screen pops up for a fraction of a second and then disappears.

I tried executing it through the command prompt and it did get executed but doesn’t run if I click the .exe directly. Just want to know if there is some error in placing the .exe file due to which I am encountering this problem.

    # setup.py
    from distutils.core import setup
    import py2exe
    setup(console=["myscript.py"])
    python setup.py py2exe --help
    python setup.py py2exe

Answer 1

Your shell disappears because the program finishes.
End your program with a raw_input('enter to finish') line and the console will stay allowing you to see the result.
