making exe file from python that uses command line arguments

19,959
setup(console=['hello.py'])

I believe the line you want to use looks like this.

I tested this with 2 files:

hello.py

import sys

for arg in sys.argv:
    print arg
print "Hello World!"

And setup.py

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

setup(console=['hello.py'])

I ran these commands:

python setup.py py2exe

And then in the dist folder, I ran this:

hello.exe foo bar

Result:

hello.exe
foo
bar
Hello World!

    I want to create an exe from a python script that uses command line arguments (argv)
    From what I've seen py2exe doesn't support command-line-arguments

    What can I do?

    EDIT: I was using a GUI2Exe tool, so I just missed the Console flag, but the accepted answer is perfectly correct
