[Matplotlib-users] weird error with py2exe

[<oli...@ma...>]

Hi there,

I experienced some strange errors when I distributed our application to=

some colleagues in Denmark.

The application uses:

Python 2.4
wxPython 2.5.5.1
numeric 23.7
matplotlib 0.83.1

The GUI was designed with Boa Constructor 0.4.4. The exe-file was compi=
led
with py2exe 0.6.3

A student who works for me has made an .exe-file of the application tha=
t
worked fine on our PC's in Norway (I tested it on around 10 PC's, both
Windows XP and 2000). Last week we had a meeting with some colleagues f=
rom
Denmark who brought their laptops and installed the application.
Installation went fine for all of them, but the application would not r=
un
on 3 out of 9 laptops (both Windows XP and 2000).

I understand that the error has something to do with matplotlib and wit=
h
Unicode displaying the letter '=E6', but I can't find out what the reas=
on is
for this. Strange thing is, we use the same letter here in Norway. My g=
uess
i that it has someting to do with language settings on these 3 PC's, bu=
t I
am not sure about this.

Anyone an idea what went wrong here? Thanks a lot in advance!

Oliver
