Creating an exe with pyInstaller that uses UAC

Question

I have a python script which I would like to create an exe from, but It requires administrator privaleges. I would like to compile my script with pyInstaller, but I don't know if it has an option to enable UAC.

In the platform SDK there is a file called MT. exe which can embed manifests into an exe (see here:)

Maybe try py2exe? All code will be write on Linux, and compile to .exe on Windows 7 x64.

All work good and without administrator privaleges.

Thanks, but I would like the executable to be light (pyInstaller's single file exe feature) and I would like to have it support code-signing and other out of the box stuff – Python Kid Aug 13 '12 at 18:03
