Publish as EXE - Introduction

[farshizzo]

Keep in mind that published EXEs are extracted to a temporary directory then executed from there. So the file is probably being created in that temp directory, which gets deleted after your script exits. I'm assuming you want the file to be created in the same directory as the EXE? Here is sample code that does this:

import viz
viz.go()

#Get path to publish EXE
path = viz.getOption('viz.publish.path','.')+'/'

#Open file in path
file = open( path + 'test.txt', 'a' )
file.write( 'hello' )
file.close()
