executables = executables python error (trying to turn pygame into executable with cx_freeze)

Question

I am trying to turn my pygame accident.py which works fine into an executable.

After installing cx_freeze and setting up the files in my python27 directory, I run python setup.py build to create the executable.

I keep getting an error, perhaps I am still missing some files? my code is wrong? Please help!

This is a screenshot of my code and what happens: http://snag.gy/In8bz.jpg

If I'm understanding you correctly, you're trying to make a pygame file into a .exe type of executable. I'm not familiar with the method you are trying to use, but check this out: http://py2exe.org/ I use it to make my games into executable files that can be downloaded by others and run without needing to install the Python API.

Hopefully this helps, David
