Python py2exe-0.6.6

Python py2exe-0.6.6 is a Windows-only distutils extension that converts Python scripts into standalone executable files (EXE). Developed by Thomas Heller, it packages your application, the Python interpreter, and required modules into a distributable format so end users can run your program without installing Python.

Highlights:

• Builds console or Windows GUI executables via a standard setup.py script.
• Automatically discovers and includes dependencies, with options to explicitly include or exclude modules.
• Bundles libraries into a compressed archive and supports different packaging layouts, including limited single-file-style bundling.
• Supports custom icons, version information, and application manifests.
• Manages common DLL dependencies and can use UPX for additional compression when available.

Target environment:

• Designed for legacy Python 2.x projects on Microsoft Windows.
• Produces a ready-to-ship “dist” directory suitable for zipping, wrapping in an installer, or code-signing.

Note: Version 0.6.6 is an older, stable release intended for legacy codebases. For modern Python 3 projects, use a newer py2exe version or consider contemporary alternatives.
