Can't convert .py files into .exe files
Question: I want to turn python files into .exe files but I can't. I have installed
py2exe when I run the program setup.py on the windows command prompt with that
command line

    
    
    python setup.py py2exe
    

I get the following error message:

    
    
    no module named py2exe
    


Answer: To quote the [py2exe tutorial](http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/Tutorial):

> "py2exe" is a new Distutils command that is added when you import py2exe. To

So their example setup.py script is:

    
    
         from distutils.core import setup
         import py2exe
         setup(console=['hello.py'])
    

Which can be built with

    
    
    python setup.py py2exe
    

So I think you are just missing the import. Post your full setup.py if this is
not the case so we can debug.
