How do i compile .py to a .exe?

I am trying to compile my .py script into a .exe using py2exe using this code:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe, sys, os
sys.argv.append('py2exe')
setup(
options = {'py2exe': {'optimize': 2}},
windows = [{'script': "get.py"}],
zipfile = "shared.lib",
)

I get this in my console:

Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 15:08:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.

Could you please help.

Are you intentionally building a gui based script? If not change windows = [{'script': "get.py"}], to console = ["get.py"],:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe, sys, os
sys.argv.append('py2exe')
setup(
    options = {'py2exe': {'optimize': 2}},
    console = ["get.py"],
    zipfile = "shared.lib",
)

If you are building a windowed program then ignore this and leave a comment so I can delete this answer ).
