[Matplotlib-users] 1.3.0 and py2exe regression

[ruidc <ru...@ya...>]

we have some code that was working fine with matplotlib 1.2.1 using:

from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid import make_axes_locatable, axes_size

now trying to freeze with py2exe (both 0.6.9 and Christoph Gohlke's
0.6.10dev)
results in ImportError: No module named mpl_toolkits

when preparing the actual executable.
running  "from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid import make_axes_locatable, axes_size"
itself in python works fine.

I've built a machine afresh and am getting this. Also, it seems to build
fine on win amd64 - but as that is my main development machine, there may be
some polution there

options={'py2exe': {'packages' : ['matplotlib', 'mpl_toolkits', ...

I've tried various different permutations of the above in includes with no
success.
Can anybody suggest why this is failing in 1.3.0 when it is working in 1.2.1
?

Regards,
RuiDC

I have little to no experience with py2exe, so I don't know how much I 
can help there.

However, between 1.2.1 and 1.3.0, mpl_toolkits was changed to a 
"namespace" package, which allowed basemap to install into it despite it 
coming from matplotlib (and being installed with setuptools).  I don't 
know if that has any bearing on py2exe.

Thanks, for the moment, it seems that removing the 'mpl_toolkits' from
packages makes it work.
Also, with the removal of dateutil from the binary, and installation of
dateutil from source pulling in six via easy_install/pip meant it also was
not found by py2exe. I got around this by using Christoph Gohlke's binary
installer of six. HTH someone else.

No, this is still coming back to haunt me. I can't figure out how to be able
to package this via py2exe now:

I am running the command:

python setup2.py py2exe

via python 2.7.5 and matplotlib 1.3.0 and py2exe 0.6.9 and 0.6.10dev

I have read http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/ExeWithEggs and tried to
implement the suggestions for handling the mpl_toolkits having become a
namespace package.

Can anyone suggest what I need to make this work?: 

test_mpl.py is:
--------------
from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1 import make_axes_locatable, axes_size

if __name__ == '__main__':
    print make_axes_locatable, axes_size

--------------
setup2.py is:
--------------
import py2exe
import distutils.sysconfig
from distutils.core import setup

import modulefinder
import matplotlib
import mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1
__import__('pkg_resources').declare_namespace("mpl_toolkits")
__import__('pkg_resources').declare_namespace("mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1")
modulefinder.AddPackagePath("mpl_toolkits", matplotlib.__path__[0])
modulefinder.AddPackagePath("mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1",
mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.__path__[0])

options={'py2exe': {'packages' : ['matplotlib', 'mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1',
'pylab', 'zmq'],
                    'includes': ['zmq', 'six'],
                    'excludes': ['_gdk', '_gtk', '_gtkagg', '_tkagg',
'PyQt4.uic.port_v3', 'Tkconstants', 'Tkinter', 'tcl'],
                    'dll_excludes': ['libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll',
                                     'libgdk_pixbuf-2.0-0.dll',
                                     'libgobject-2.0-0.dll',
                                     'tcl85.dll',
                                     'tk85.dll'],
                    'skip_archive': True },} 

setup(console=['test_mpl.py'], options=options)

--------------
output is:
--------------

PyInstaller 2.0 also has exactly the same error.
cx_Freeze unfortunately has problems with some tricks in numpy 1.7.x.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] 1.3.0 and py2exe regression

[cheflo <joe...@gm...>]

There is a quite simple workaround to this problem. Find the directory from
which mpl_tools is imported and simply add an empty text file named
"__init__.py" in that directory. py2exe will now find and include this
module without any special imports needed in the setup file.

You can find the mpl_tools directory by typing the following in a python
console:
import importlib
importlib.import_module('mpl_toolkits').__path__

I found the solution here http://stackoverflow.com/a/11632115/2166823 and it
seems to apply to namespace packages in general.

I posted this solution to Stack Overflow as well
http://stackoverflow.com/a/19848039/2166823.
