pythonpy2exe

making exe file from python that uses command line arguments

I want to create an exe from a python script that uses command line arguments (argv)
From what I've seen py2exe doesn't support command-line-arguments

What can I do?

EDIT: I was using a GUI2Exe tool, so I just missed the Console flag, but the accepted answer is perfectly correct

Solution 
  • setup(console=['hello.py'])

    I believe the line you want to use looks like this.

    I tested this with 2 files:

    hello.py

    import sys

for arg in sys.argv:
    print arg
print "Hello World!"

    And setup.py

    from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

setup(console=['hello.py'])

    I ran these commands:

    python setup.py py2exe

    And then in the dist folder, I ran this:

    hello.exe foo bar

    Result:

    hello.exe
foo
bar
Hello World!
