Hi,

For some reason, every Python script I try to run in the Windows command prompt fails to run. I get this output for "python setup.py py2exe":

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 4, in ?
import py2exe
ImportError: No module named py2exe

I've installed py2exe through it's automatic installer, and I have the folder 'py2exe' in Python24\Lib\site-packages. This error occurs with other scripts, too, but all the scirpts work when I run them through my IDE. It'd just be more convenient in some cases to be able to use the command prompt, so I'd appreciate any help with this.

The DOS command window is kind of stupid, you have to tell it in detail where every file is.

Thanks for the reply.

I forgot to add, that I typed the full file path to the folder where setup.py was before typing "python setup.py py2exe". Like C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\py2exe\samples\simple\python setup.py py2exe. But it still doesn't work. I also tried giving setup.py as a full path between quotes, but that didn't work either. It always complains about modules not found.

hi,

Try adding path of py2exe's PATH. I know that the path of libraries is already in included in PATH, but still...... Might that will work.

I think I figured out why the scirpts didn't work. It seems the problem had to do with the word 'python' in the command I typed into the prompt.

While "C:\blah\python setup.py py2exe" didn't work, "C:\blah\setup.py py2exe" did work. I just had to omit the word 'python'. It seems a bit strange, but now all my scripts work.

Thanks again for the help.
