You can use the py2exe application for converting the python scripts into standalone windows programs. The main advantage of this application is that py2exe is a Python extension which converts python scripts into executable windows programs, able to run without requiring a python installation. So even if you are not having the python installation, then also you can make the python scripts into executable files. py2exe is distributed under an open-source license. Hope that you can use the py2exe application and then your problem is solved.!!

For converting a .py script into an .exe file you will have to install py2exe. After installing it make sure that your python program is running from command prompt. For checking that from the command prompt type the following command in the command prompt :

C:\Documents and Settings\atik>python sample.py

Otherwise you will have to create setup script and you can do that typing the following code into your editor :

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(console=[‘sample.py’])

Then run the python program as mentioned in above coding.

According to me, the vast majority of things you can do with Python will work with py2exe. It's important that you make sure everything is working before you use py2exe. Here is the basic example of "Hello World" :

print "Hello World!"

For making it sure that it is working properly, you can check by the following command :

C:\Tutorial>python hello.py
Hello World!

C:\Tutorial>

Python is a simple and powerful language for scripting and even application development. The following code prints a header and numbers 1 to 10 to console output :

print "Python script to exe test program"

count = 0

while count < 10:
    print "count = " + str(count) +"\n"
    count = count + 1

Save this code in to trial.py file. Make sure that the code works fine by running it using python. To do this, on command prompt type "python trial.py".
