"""
Simple py2exe version used for Tkinter programs.
Run this program to create a windows exe file with py2exe.
Run it in a folder that als contains your source code file.
 
It will create 2 folders named build and dist.
 
The build folder is temporary info and can be deleted.
 
Distribute whatever is in the dist folder.
 
Your library.zip file contains your optimized byte code, and all
needed modules.  This file together with the Python interpreter
(eg. Python25.dll) should accompany the created executable file.
Note that you might be able to share this large library file with
other Python/Tkinter based .exe files.
 
The MSVCR71.dll can be distributed and is often already in the
Windows/system32 folder.
 
w9xpopen.exe is needed for os.popen() only, can be deleted otherwise.
