Can't figure this out

[TheNational22]

I have a program that calls a couple of DOS commands, moves files, ZIPS them, and FTPs them to a server. When I test it in IDLE, works fine. I have tried to make into a EXE using pyInstaller and py2exe, both EXEs make the the program die immediatelt. Tried debugging, everything, cannot figure it out.

login='***
should be
login='***'

It is, that just happened when I took out the real info and replaced with *

[Freaky_Chris]

Try using this

if __name__ == '__main__':
     main()

That may help. I'm guessing you are familiar with it, and therefor i don't need to explain

That is used to test a module. Why would that help here, there isn't even a main()????

[Freaky_Chris]

Ofcourse he would have to create a main function containing all of his program.

Depending on how py2exe works it may be needed for the program to initialize correctly

[TheNational22]

Nope, still not working. I added a main function to it, and fixed my indentation errors, and again, tested great in IDLE, when I compile with pyInstaller, it still flashes briefly, and BLAM, dies on the vine. I am wondering with all those modules imported, it isn't copying them all? Or maybe a problem with the OS module because that is the first call? Just don't know.

[Gribouillis]

I suggest a debugging technique: you comment out large parts of your program until it runs, then you uncomment more and more until you find the problem. You can use multiline strings to comment easily ;)

Found one issue, and it was with the subprocess it was importing, replaced, and we move forward. Now, I get an error when I try to run build.py. In mf.py, line 253, import hooks, no module named hooks. And this is very true. I have a folder named hooks, with a bunch of hook_*.py. I have ihooks.py in the Lib folder, no hooks. Any help, would be awesome.
