i can't understand why to need for supplying command as it is GUI based application but it worked fine first time and then it gives above error. please help..........

Answer 1

The problem is that you are compiling this script from the Python IDLE. This is not how it is done with py2exe . If you have used Disutils before, you might have seen this:

python setup.py install .

And same is the case of py2exe , you run it from the command line and not the IDLE. So open up cmd and then issue the command:

python setup.py py2exe

Here setup.py is your script file.

This is better explained in the tutorial .
