copied!<p>I've written a very simple code in python and generated one .exe with py2exe.</p> <p>I've added the imports to see if there's a problem with importing those modules.</p> <pre><code>import sys import time, os, httplib2 from csv import writer, reader, DictWriter from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup def main(): print sys.argv[1] if __name__ == '__main__': main() </code></pre> <p>when I run it as a .py file it works great.</p> <blockquote> <p>C:\Users\User>C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\py2exe\samples\sysargv\module3.py justChecking justChecking</p> </blockquote> <p>but when I run the executable py2exe had generated it does nothing - </p> <blockquote> <p>C:\Users\User>C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\py2exe\samples\sysargv\dist\module3.exe JustCheking</p> </blockquote> <p>that's the code of the setup.py</p> <pre><code>from distutils.core import setup import py2exe setup( options = {'py2exe': {'bundle_files': 1}}, windows = [{'script': "module3.py"}], zipfile = None, ) </code></pre> <p>I need to use sys.argv in my program (I'm getting input from the user, things like output directory, log file path etc')</p> <p>how do I use sys.argv when using py2exe to create one executable?</p> <p>another question, if I have python 2.7 32 bit installed on a win7 64 bit computer (I've installed the <a href="http://www.python.org/getit/" rel="nofollow">regular win' 2.7.2 msi file from python.org</a>) and generated a single executable on that computer, will I be able to use the .exe on win7\xp 32 bit?</p> <p>Thanks</p>
