[wxPython-users] Two exe's in one py2exe dist?

[Jorgen Bodde]

Once again,

Thanks everybody! I got it to work the way I said, by simply
specifying the console and windows parameter in the same setup
function. I was wrestling with "module os not found" errors only to
figure out that one of the code paths that would only be executed when
compiled with py2exe, used the not yet imported OS module ;-) I can
finally round up all chores and one of these days announce the app.
