How to compile SABnzbd source to Windows executable?

Post by power crystals »

I made some modifications to the API for my own use, and I wanted to package the resulting changes into a .exe for ease of use (I don't feel like dealing with a python installation on my HTPC if I can avoid it) but I can't figure out how. My (poor) attempts at using py2exe didn't produce an executable that actually worked if I just put it in the folder where the old SABnzbd.exe was, and given that it was about 5x smaller I'm assuming I did something wrong, and I can't find an explanation of how to do this anywhere. Can someone either tell me how to do this or point me to somewhere that will? Thanks.
