    How does py2exe work?

    Hi,

    I recently checked out py2exe (on Windows). Looks good.
    Was able to build an EXE out of one of my Python apps.

    Wondering how it works? Does it actually compile the Python source of
    your script into machine language, or does it do something more like
    bundling the Python interpreter, the Python libraries and the script
    itself, into a file?

    Will look at the source code but would like to get some ideas ...

    Thanks ...

      essentially, that's what it does.

              He should have said "the 2nd way" but thanks, I did guess what he
              meant :-)
