[Insight-users] Freezing itk python executables

[Lassi Paavolainen]

Hi Peter,

We use py2exe to build package for our software. If I remember correctly, 
py2exe cannot find ITK since ITK libs are loaded dynamically.

I'm not sure if our way is the best option, but at least it works. We use 
a script that copies ITK libs and ITK Python libs + py files into own ITK 
directory structure and then in our main Python script add those to path.

Cheers,
Lassi
