Re: [Py2exe-users] dist directory is empty

[inq1ltd <in...@in...>]

Thanks Daniel,

I've been so disparate over this my modules and setup is loaded in the same 
directory that python lives.  
My entry is:  
python setup.py py2exe

Without the output file I can see the full output in the window but the window 
closes before I can read the last line. I believe the last line is an error 
message that I can't read

JD,



You should be able to run your setup script from a command prompt so that you 
can view any output like this:



c:\path\to\python.exe setup.py py2exe



That should let you see errors and potentially diagnose further.  We'll need 
that information in order to try to assist as well.

py2exe help,

I'm trying to compile my program withpy2exe-0.6.9 0n py2.7 and I'm getting 
anempty dist directory.

In the past I haven't had any problemscompleting this or other projects. 
However,in the last year I modified some files andadded modules and files to 
this same projectand after running setup, I'm getting an emptydist directory.

If I create a sys.stdout file within thesetup, the output file shows the 
copying ofmy files to the lib and it creates the distdirectory. The last line 
it shows is:

*** searching for required modules **

At this time the output file is closed.Everything is now displayed on screen 
untilthe setup finishes and the window closes.

I believe there is an error message displayedon the last line, but I can't read 
it.

So, short of knowing what the possibilitiesare that can cause this problem I 
want toknow if there is a way to stop the setup fromclosing the window when it 
finishes so I canread the last line?

I can create a simple exe program using a fewfiles from this project by 
eliminating theimporting of other modules,  but there are 93files for the 
entire project.

I would appreciate any help,jd
