    Python version 3 converting to .exe
    Can someone explain how to create exe files on python version 3?

    I've found stuff for version 2..etc

    Is 3 pretty much the same as 2 and should I just code in version 2?

    Many thanks

    Bit of googling suggests this should work, but I've never used it before so I can't give you any guarantees...

    I am coding in 2.x as most tutorials/books,etc are for 2.x and there are some slight differences in syntax.
    Also, going to 3.x afterwards should not rly be any problem.

    Indeed, cx_Freeze seems to be the only one working with Python 3. But it works fine: I've been compiling Pygame .exe with it for a while. It is incompatible with the configparser module from the standard library though (as of Python 3.2.1).

    Edit: In the latest version of cx_Freeze (4.3), this bug is fixed
