[Py2exe-users] is py2exe + numpy hopless?

[Grant E. <gr...@vi...>]

I'm trying to distribute a program that uses scipy, and it's a
complete nightmare.  I've fought my way through about a
half-dozen problems so far, but there's no end in sight.  The
majority of code in my setup.py script now consists of code
that explicitly to delete/move/copy files in order to try to
work around all these problems.

The mailing lists and newsgroups are full of people with
similar problems/questions and there seem to be no answers.

One reoccurring problem is that py2exe seems unable to deal with
the situation where two packages have contain sub-modules with
the same name.

The current problem is:

 import core -> failed: No module named _internal
 import lib -> failed: cannot import name sign
 import linalg -> failed: cannot import name sign
 import dft -> failed: cannot import name sign
 import random -> failed: 'module' object has no attribute 'dtype'
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "doplot.py", line 4, in ?
   File "scipy\__init__.pyc", line 25, in ?
   File "numpy\__init__.pyc", line 49, in ?
   File "numpy\add_newdocs.pyc", line 2, in ?
   File "numpy\lib\__init__.pyc", line 5, in ?

   File "numpy\core\arrayprint.pyc", line 20, in ?
   File "numpy\core\fromnumeric.pyc", line 19, in ?
 ImportError: cannot import name sign

I've already spent more time trying to package the program than
I did writing it.  Is there any hope that this is going to work
within my lifetime?
