I've been trying all day to make an executable from python file using pygame too. I was doing okay until it got to the mixer module which is where it failed quite epically. I then searched the web a bit and came up with this as it was on the pygame website The Pygame website code. I would be really grateful if anyone could help me with this or tell me how to import the mixer module (I've commented it to help you if you can't find it. Its under the Build_exe Class)
By the way, i got rid of the " < 2:" on this version as it didn't seem to want to work with my python and compiles everything fine without it. (It should be on line 143) I just thought it might help you if your stuck. Cheers in advance
