Python 3.4: the only release to create .EXE standalone without .dll - samsonite - Feb-26-2019

Hi all,
I hope that someone disagrees the title assumption, being carried out several tests through v.3.5.1, which reaches differently the goal, as shown in this screenshot: http://imgbox.com/BFWXJGZL Namely, the executable Neper.exe works only in presence of plenty of dynamic libraries (.dll)

What have I done by downgrading to 3.4?

First of all, installing the module py2exe, that works better if called by 3.4 and not by 3.5.1 (mystery!). Look at this scheme:
C:\Users\Alfabeta>python -V
Python 3.4.0

C:\Users\Alfabeta>pip -V
pip 1.5.4 from C:\Python34\lib\site-packages (python 3.4)

C:\Users\Alfabeta>pip freeze
mpmath==1.1.0
py2exe==0.9.2.2
Secondly, doing this console command:
python compile.py mycal.py
where py's and output (mycal.exe, fully standalone) are available here: https://transfer.sh/13hM6a/samsonite_folder.rar

Thanks in advance for appreciated comments and cheers

Use pyinstaller work Python 3.7 and can make one file executable(.exe).
Py2exe stopped develop at Python 3.4 and do not work for newer versions.
Show a basic run with pyinstaller in this post.

Just done, unsuccessfully (many .dll's) with 3.5.1 version, as follows, and I have some doubts that something changes with 3.7. Better if someone else replicate my test, thank you.
C:\Users\Alfabeta>pip install pyinstaller

RE: Python 3.4: the only release to create .EXE standalone without .dll - Axel_Erfurt - Feb-26-2019

Use

pyinstaller -F Neper.py


RE: Python 3.4: the only release to create .EXE standalone without .dll - samsonite - Feb-26-2019

Good drift, Axel.
Problem solved via pyinstaller, as shown underneath and in this screenshot http://imgbox.com/Vpl7tdbY
Thank you very much, and cheers.

Had you look at my run in my previous post.
pyinstaller --onefile --console power.py
Is the same as @Axel_Erfurt postet so -F is the same as --onefile.

Upgrade your Python version,do not use Python 3.4 anymore.
Python 3.6/3.7 and pip installation under Windows
A carrot for upgrade is that you can use f-string.
>>> print(f"Sammy has {4:4} red and {16:16}! blue balloons")
Sammy has    4 red and               16! blue balloons
 
>>> # f-strings support any Python expressions inside the curly braces
>>> name = 'f-string'
>>> print(f"My cool string is called {name.upper()}.")
My cool string is called F-STRING.
 
>>> a, b = 5, 7
>>> f'{a}/{b} = {a/b:.2}'
'5/7 = 0.71'
 
>>> for word in 'f-strings are awesome'.split():
...     print(f'{word.upper():~^20}')
~~~~~F-STRINGS~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~ARE~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~AWESOME~~~~~~~

Thanks administrator!
Also in Python 3.4 pip is installed by default. By the way, in case of some troubles I'll upgrade it, as per your suggestions. Cheers
