Py2Exe has a lot of bugs when compiling various modules inside the exe. I had this kind of problem myself. My suggestion is to use pyInstaller which in my opinion is a lot better and easier to use.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
