Making a Binary
Posted: May 3rd, 2008, 2:59 am
Hi all,
I edited the source of the distribution to allow rss feeds to be checked every 15 minutes instead of the limit (every 30 minutes). 15 minutes really makes the difference with me, my ISP throttles bandwidth at certain times and my items would be downloaded right in time instead of having to wait another 12 hours till the bandwidth is no longer throttled. (from 1.6mbit to 32kbit). I used the 0.4 Beta 2 Distribution.
How would I go about compiling my new sources to exe's, I searched the forums but there's very little I can find. I downloaded the utility py2exe but i'm not sure how to use it. I'm sure something extra needs to be done (two binaries can be made the console one and the hidden one)
I prefer to run the source without python running.
Thanks
