 ## Pack into standalone executable for Windows
 Using [py2exe for Python 3](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/py2exe/), you can pack the script into a Windows executable, primarily for use on a computer without Python, or for easy use in the Windows Command Prompt. [Python 3.4](https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-344/) is required, 3.5 or later is currently not supported.
