RE: [Py2exe-users] Problem installing py2exe itself

[Mark M. <mar...@eu...>]

Hi,

I have never installed Python in the suggested directory on any machine
- but I have never had a problem.

I have usually installed the Python from Python.com and not from
ActiveState - so I don't know if that is the difference?

Just for future reference - it *should* work - but I have no idea why it
didn't.

Mark

Thank you Thomas. The fact that py2exe is a package *is* a fundamental=20
concept! I promise to study the distutils documentation more carefully.

In the meantime, though, I still can't get your simple example to build.

Here is what I get:

C:\Utility\Python\Lib\site-packages\Py2exe\samples\simple>python
Python 2.3.3 (#51, Dec 18 2003, 20:22:39) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import sys
 >>> sys.path
['', 'c:\\utility\\python\\lib\\site-packages',=20
'C:\\WINNT\\system32\\python23.z
ip', 'C:\\Utility\\Python\\Lib\\site-packages\\Py2exe\\samples\\simple',

'c:\\ut
ility\\python\\DLLs', 'c:\\utility\\python\\lib',=20
'c:\\utility\\python\\lib\\pla
t-win', 'c:\\utility\\python\\lib\\lib-tk', 'c:\\utility\\python',=20
'C:\\Utility\
\Python\\Lib\\site-packages\\win32',=20
'C:\\Utility\\Python\\Lib\\site-packages\\w
in32\\lib', 'C:\\Utility\\Python\\Lib\\site-packages\\Pythonwin']
 >>> import py2exe
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named py2exe
 >>>

I believe I have all the proper directories in my path yet Python still=20
cannot find the py2exe package. Perhaps the root of my problem is that I

installed Python in a non-standard directory: c:\utility\python rather
than=20
c:\python23. I have had nothing but problems installing other
modules/packages.

Final Resolution: I tried py2exe on another Windows machine that has
Python=20
installed in the recommended directory and it worked fine. It appears
that=20
the suggested "c:\pythonxx\..." directory structure may be mandatory
rather=20
than a suggestion.
