pip installed modules when packaging python scripts

Question

I'm about to convert my python script into an executable with py2exe but I'm concerned that a few modules that I installed via pip (paramiko & xlrd) won't be included in that executable. Does anyone know if those modules that are not from the standard library are included in the script when you move it over to .exe format?

Answer 1

Yes. The paramiko folder - or any non-standard imported functionality - is located in the directory

C:\\path_to_your_script's_folder\\script_folder\\build\\bdist.win32\\winexe\\collect-2.7\\paramiko

This folder holds all of the .pyc files that are associated to that imported file (in this case paramiko).
