[Matplotlib-users] matplotlib py2exe problem

[Daniel M. <dan...@ya...>]

Please be kind....poor starving newbie.

I've seen this question posted around but can't seem to find an answer: does anybody have experience creating an .exe for a matplotlib program using py2exe? 

My testMPL.py application is all set to go, but when I run py2exe with the suggested setup.py file, I get errors. (I'm using ActiveState Python 2.4.2 Build 10)

Setup.py is as follows:

from distutils.core import setup
import glob
import py2exe

opts = {
    'py2exe': { 'includes': 'matplotlib.numerix.random_array',
                'excludes': ['_gtkagg', '_tkagg'],
                'dll_excludes': ['libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll',
                                 'libgobject-2.0-0.dll']
              }
       }
       
data = glob.glob("C:\\Python24\\Lib\\site-packages\\matplotlib\\*")
data.append("C:\\Python24\\Lib\\site-packages\\matplotlib\\matplotlibrc")

setup ( console = ["testWX.py"], 
        data_files=[("matplotlibdata",data)])

    
Now, when I run this, setup.py ends with an error as follows:

*** copy extensions ***
*** copy dlls ***
*** copy data files ***
error: can't copy 'C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backends': doesn't e
xist or not a regular file


Is this error because glob can't load files recursively? I get confused because all of the other examples out there use a different file structure, loading matplotlib files like so...

 data_files = [(r'matplotlibdata', glob.glob(r'c:\python24\share\matplotlib\*')),
                  (r'matplotlibdata', [r'c:\python24\share\matplotlib\.matplotlibrc'])],
But my python build doesn't have a /share  directory at all. Why the discrepency?

Thanks for any help...

- Daniel

Daniel, just for our information: are you using the py2exe examples
from the matplotlib FAQ page?  I think these are probably a bit out of
date as of the 0.86 release because of the way we recently reorganized
the package data (fonts, thumbnails etc).

Charlie, have you tested any of the new egg / package organization
stuff with py2exe?

I just tried with an old project that I used py2exe with and it does
look like we still need the py2exe specific check in get_data_path
since py2exe zips the pure python code into a library.zip.  I updated
my setup.py file for that old project and I am pasting it below.  In
my specific case I was using numarray (numpy didn't exist), so now I
have to exclude numpy or errors occur for some unknown reason.  I just
added the old py2exe check to get_data_path and everything worked
fine.  I will add this to cvs.

Until the next release you can just uncomment the following lines in
matplotlib/__init__.py#_get_data_path():
    if sys.platform=3D=3D'win32' and sys.frozen:
        path =3D os.path.join(os.path.split(sys.path[0])[0], 'matplotlibdat=
a')
        if os.path.isdir(path):  return path
        else:
            # Try again assuming sys.path[0] is a dir not a exe
            path =3D os.path.join(sys.path[0], 'matplotlibdata')
            if os.path.isdir(path): return path

Begin setup.py script
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=

# For py2exe only
"""
 Run with the following command (use py2exe 0.6.2 or higher)

   python.exe -OO setup.py py2exe -b 3 -c -p numarray,pytz -e numpy
"""

import os
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
import glob

import matplotlib
mplfiles =3D glob.glob(os.sep.join([matplotlib.get_data_path(), '*']))
# Need to explicitly remove cocoa_agg nib folder or py2exe complains
mplfiles.remove(os.sep.join([matplotlib.get_data_path(), 'Matplotlib.nib'])=
)

setup( version =3D '0.9.1',
       windows =3D ['nlogui.py'],
       data_files =3D [('', ['nlo.gif', '../vtkrotate/NMA.pdb']),
                     ('matplotlibdata', mplfiles)],
       options=3D{"py2exe":{"optimize":2}},
)

Re: [Matplotlib-users] matplotlib py2exe problem

[Charlie M. <cw...@gm...>]

I just committed the changes to cvs and added a convenience function
for py2exe called get_py2exe_datafiles.  The script I pasted before
now looks like this:

Begin setup.py script
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-----------
# For py2exe only

 Run with the following command (use py2exe 0.6.2 or higher)

   python.exe -OO setup.py py2exe -b 3 -c -p numarray,pytz -e numpy

       data_files =3D [('', ['nlo.gif', '../vtkrotate/NMA.pdb']),
                     matplotlib.get_py2exe_datafiles()],
       options=3D{"py2exe":{"optimize":2}},

Charlie and John,

John, in answer to your question, yes, I was using the py2exe examples from the
FAQ page.

Charlie, I'll try out the convenience function you created and report back with
my findings. Hopefully this will be of use to other users who have the same file
structure as I do.

With Thanks,

Charlie, 

Thanks for your help. I tried running your script and got an error originating
from the function you wrote within __init__.py. I tried the function by itself
within PyShell and got the same error...here's the error I received:

  File "setup.py", line 23, in ?
    data_files = [('', ['nlo.gif', '../vtkrotate/NMA.pdb']),
  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\__init__.py", line 367, in get_
py2exe_datafiles
    mplfiles = glob.glob(os.sep.join([matplotlib.get_data_path(), '*']))
NameError: global name 'matplotlib' is not defined


This seems to be the code that you added to the __init__.py file:

  def get_py2exe_datafiles():
      import glob
    
      mplfiles = glob.glob(os.sep.join([matplotlib.get_data_path(), '*']))
      # Need to explicitly remove cocoa_agg files or py2exe complains
      mplfiles.remove(os.sep.join([matplotlib.get_data_path(), 'Matplotlib.nib']))
    
      return ('matplotlibdata', mplfiles)

I removed the matplotlib references and the code then worked:


  def get_py2exe_datafiles():
      import glob
    
      mplfiles = glob.glob(os.sep.join([get_data_path(), '*']))
      # Need to explicitly remove cocoa_agg files or py2exe complains
      mplfiles.remove(os.sep.join([get_data_path(), 'Matplotlib.nib']))
    
      return ('matplotlibdata', mplfiles)


I can now create an .exe. I'll post soon as to how well the .exe actually works.

Thanks for your help.

A follow up note from my posting today:

Although the .exe was successfully created by py2exe, 
when I try to run it,I only get an "Errors Occurred" 
dialog window with the following written to the
log:

Here's my setup script. Note that I've included the 
line suggested by the py2exe wiki
(http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/moin.cgi/MatPlotLib)
to try to remedy this missing random_array module, 
but am still getting that error.

       windows = ['VizTool.py'],     
       data_files = [('data', ['data/CH2.csv']),
                     ('conf',['conf/GraphStyles.ini']),
                     ('',['matplotlibrc']),
                     matplotlib.get_py2exe_datafiles()],
       options={"py2exe":{"optimize":2}},
)



This is the setup.py command at the DOST prompt:

C:>python.exe -OO setup.py py2exe -b 3 -c -p numarray,pytz -e numpy 

Thanks for any help anybody can provide!

[Charlie M. <cw...@gm...>]

Are you using numarray as your numerix?  If so, is it specified in
matplotlibrc of the exe bundle?

Charlie,

Yes. I'm using numarray for numerix. I've specified this in a local matplotlibrc
file that configures my application, as well as the default matplotlibrc file in
the C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\mpl-data directory.

My .exe is called VizTool.exe. The output from VizTool.exe.log is :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "VizTool.py", line 2, in ?
  File "VizTool\Controllers.pyo", line 4, in ?
  File "VizTool\GraphPanels.pyo", line 1, in ?
  File "wxmpl.pyo", line 32, in ?
  File "matplotlib\numerix\__init__.pyo", line 145, in ?
ImportError: No module named random_array

Any suggestions?

As always, thanks for the help.

I fixed the matplotlib references.  I must have been importing it in
my script.  Thanks for the info.
