I don't have the answer about py2exe, but I'm using cxFreeze to create
executables with Python 3.1, if it's what you're looking for.

This packager is also nice.

If someone cares, I've discovered a small bug in it.
If Python is installed on another drive than C under Windows, the cxfreeze.bat file still calls Python on the drive C and it doesn't work until it is corrected.

Why do you say that? The homepage was update last month. If you
click on "recent changes" the last wiki page edit was less than two
weeks ago, and there ahve been 19 posts to four different threads on
the mailing list so far this month.

Probably.

Octavian:

It's great that you want to let people know about bugs. Put yourself in
the position of the package maintainer, however. She or he doesn't spend
all day working on cxFreeze, and probably doesn't even do a Google
search on cxFreeze very often. So they are unlikely to find out about
this problem form your well-intentioned note.

It's just possible nobody does care, as I can't find a link to an issue
tracker - the best I could advise in this case would be to join the
mailing list by visiting

https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/cx-freeze-users

Steve

Hi Steve,

I may put some stupid questions because I am very new to Python, but... I heard about pypi/pip. Aren't all these Python libraries (like cxFreeze) provided on a central archive where we can get them and also report the bugs using a single request/issue tracker?

Hey,

Yes, they are all Python packages or applications, and yes, PyPI aka
The Cheese Shop is a single repository for them. However, they do not
share mailing lists or issue trackers. Each project maintains its own
bug tracking, etc.

Best regards,

Jonathan

Hi Octavian,
I didn't see anyone reply to you on the list...

The short answer to your question is "no". PyPI stands for the Python Package Index. The key word there is "Index". It's a catalog of packages but many of those packages are hosted elsewhere. The places where those packages are hosted may or may not have an issue tracker, etc.

For instance, one the packages that I offer through PyPI (posix_ipc) is hosted on my personal Web site.

Hope this helps
Philip

Hi Philip,

I thought that pypi works like cpan for Perl, but now I understand.

Thank you for clarifications.
