How to get .exes to work.

[Tim]

Ok, after converting a python program to an .exe with py2exe.

The program will run on a computer with Python installed on it no worries, however if python is not installed it starts and finishes in the blink of an eye. even with

Code

raw_input('Press Enter to exit ')

added.

The program is the one that works out mileage for cars that I changed to aus things from a tutorial on the net that i can't find anymore.

A program compiled with py2exe has its own interpreter and don't need an installed interpreter.

Try running it not in the IDLE interface but in a common DOS prompt.

Or try this:

Code

os.system("pause")
