Python Executable file

Question

I am trying to run tutorial for creating executable file available in below site

http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/Tutorial

But when I tried to run below setup.py file as instructed in tutorial I am getting error "ImportError: No module named 'py2exe'"

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

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

Can anyone help me to know what is the issue here

I am trying to install from "https://sourceforge.net/projects/py2exe/files/py2exe/0.6.9/" but when i tried to execute "py2exe-0.6.9.win32-py2.5.exe" it throws error "The program can't start because MSVCR71.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem" I am not sure exactly about this error — user3734568, Jan 15 '18 at 12:44

There are a few simple steps needed to use py2exe once you've installed it:

The tutorial assumes you've already installed py2exe. You can do this using pip.

pip install py2exe

Please follow this SO post to install pip on your windows machine, if you haven't already installed it. Then use pip install py2exe to install your module.
