I just managed to get py2exe work on a Windows Virtual Machine but stumbled on another problem which I didn’t have right after I installed GTK, Pango, Gobject etc. on that machine: When I launch a Python Script the window appears but it immediately stops responding. This happens too if I open a python interpreter and type:

import gtk
w = gtk.Window()
w.show()

I’m not allowed to post any images yet, but here’s the link to a screenshot: https://i.stack.imgur.com/3RJ0n.png

This is a problem for me, as if I create an executable with py2exe I get the same result when I execute the program.

Thank you for your help and for your time spent to help me! 🙂

Solved! It seems installing ActivePython the installing GTK runtime, PyCairo, PyObject, PyGtk as administrator with compatibility mode for Windows Xp Service Pack 2 solved the problem. Thank you adw for your help and suggestions!
