[Py2exe-users] Error in packaging (windows exe) Python script

[Sumanta S. <sum...@gm...>]

Hello everyone,

I am facing an issue in creating Windows executable (.exe) from a Python
Script that uses SynapseClient, a python client library provided by Synapse
(https://www.synapse.org). I have installed SynapseClient downloading it
from git and executing the command "python setup.py install" in the
console. I have verified that the new directory
"synapseclient-1.5.2.dev1-py3.4.egg" (along with it's sub-directories
"EGG-INFO" and "synapseclient") added in the location
"Python34\Lib\site-packages". synapseclient library is successfully
imported to my Python script and when I ran my script using command "python
myScript.pyw" in console, it executed properly without any error. I was
able to create windows .exe using py2exe (command, python setup.py py2exe),
the exe is generate properly, but when I double-clicked on the generated
.exe, it shows the error as -
Traceback (most recent call last):

return self.loader.get_data(path)
OSError: [Errno 0] Error: 'synapseclient\synapsePythonClient'

My setup.py file is as follows -
=======================================================
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

EXE = [{'script':'myScript.pyw'}]
DATA_FILES = [('css/bootstrap',['css/bootstrap/bootstrap.min.css','
css/bootstrap/bootstrap-theme.min.css']),
('css/font-awesome/css',['css/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.
css','css/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css']),
('css/font-awesome/fonts',['css/font-awesome/fonts/
FontAwesome.otf','css/font-awesome/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot','css/font-
awesome/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.svg','css/font-awesome/fonts/fontawesome-
webfont.ttf','css/font-awesome/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff','css/font-
awesome/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff2']),
('js/bootstrap',['js/bootstrap/bootstrap.js','js/
bootstrap/bootstrap.min.js']),
('js/jquery',['js/jquery/jquery.min.js','js/jquery/
jquery.ui.touch-punch.min.js','js/jquery/jquery-ui.min.js']),
('',['myFile.html'])
]
OPTIONS = {'py2exe': {'includes': ['PySide.QtWebKit','PySide.
QtGui','PySide.QtNetwork']}}
GENERATOR = ['py2exe'];

setup(
windows = EXE,
data_files = DATA_FILES,
options = OPTIONS,
setup_requires = GENERATOR,
zipfile = None,
)
==========================================

May be I am missing something silly. Is there anything I need to add in my
setup.py file ? Please help.

Thanks,
Sumanta
