Use attribute '''com_server''' of method '''setup''' to create a com exe/dll server.
By default, both an exe and a dll com server get generated.
The following two pages show how to do the same thing using ctypes.com:
[[Py2exeAndCtypesComExeServer]] & [[Py2exeAndCtypesComDllServer]]

You can define and instantiate a '''Target''' class to explicitly state
whether you want an exe or dll com server (or both) and to add
version info resources that get attached to the file as metadata.

file '''setup.py''' would look something like this:
{{{
#!python
# This is the distutils script for creating a Python-based com (exe or dll)
# server using win32com.  This script should be run like this:
#
#  % python setup.py py2exe
#
# After you run this (from this directory) you will find two directories here:
# "build" and "dist".  The .dll or .exe in dist is what you are looking for.
