title: pyinstaller exe without any dependencies?
body: <p>So I'm using pyinstaller with python27, and my exe works great so long as it's in the same directory as the build folder.  I need it to be a completely standalone exe, without any dependencies, is there a way to bundle the important things from the build folder into one file?  Neither -F nor --onefile seems to do this.</p>
  
  <p>Edit:  as I explain in my answer below, I thought pyinstaller was the problem because the exe would only run in the dist folder, so I assumed it had dependencies there, but in reality, it was running and then instantly crashing due to a bug that only triggered when the exe was on the desktop.</p>
