Hey Pythonistas, wondering if anyone knows how I would create an app for windows 10 (for myself) which I could install in the lower right hand side of my task-bar (thinking Pymodoro as the guinea pig)!

py2exe is a Python Distutils extension which converts Python scripts into executable Windows programs, able to run without requiring a Python installation.
Development is hosted at SourceForge. You can find the mailing list, svn, and downloads there.
py2exe was originally developed by Thomas Heller who still makes contributions. Jimmy Retzlaff and Mark Hammond have also made contributions. Code contributions are always welcome from the community and many people provide invaluable help on the mailing list and the Wiki.
py2exe is used by BitTorrent, SpamBayes, and thousands more - py2exe averages over 5,000 downloads per month.

20,315 PointsYou have the most python points yes? If so do you see that you're better than 100% of python students in the leader boards? Python section only

Treehouse Moderator 68,468 PointsYes, I have the most Python points. Kenneth is 2nd. It does say my primary percentile ranking for Python is 100%. When I was second of some 24,000 students (behind only Kenneth), is said 99%. In reality is was the 99.996%. Obviously truncation vs rounding. Its the truncation that drove me to get to first place and reach 100%.
