[Py2exe-users] dll issue

[EuGeNe <eu...@bo...>]

Hi everyone,

I have used succesfully PyUnRAR (ctypes, unrar.dll) in a python script I 
would like to [py2exe]

Obviously it is not working, which is why I am posting here. The import 
UnRAR fails when loading the dll. I think the problem is that in the 
__init__ of the UnRAR module the path to the dll is set using:

if __name__ == '__main__':
     _dllFilename = os.path.join('UnRARDLL', 'unrar.dll')
else:
     _dllFilename = os.path.join(os.path.split(__file__)[0], 'UnRARDLL', 
'unrar.dll')

So the .exe is looking for 
c:\path-to-program\dist\library.zip\UnRAR\UnRARDLL\unrar.dll and can't 
find it.

I tried using 
data_files=[('UnRAR/UnRARDLL',glob.glob(sys.prefix+'/Lib/site-packages/UnRAR/UnRARDLL/*.dll'))
  in my setup.py

but I am way out of my league and don't understand what I am trying to 
do ... which doesn't work obviously.

Anyone can help?

Thanks
