I've done this for an app that uses wxPython, pywin32, Numeric, PIL,
ctypes and more. My dlls and pyds went from about 12MB to about 4MB.
I've reproduced a report from upx at the end of this note that shows the
compression for each file. Note that any installer you build won't
compress much better because it is now trying to compress files that are
already compressed. This approach really only helps with the installed
size and the size of the folder if you are moving that around without an
installer.

For the installer route, the latest version of the NSIS installer
supports LZMA (the compression method from 7-Zip) and can achieve
impressive space savings. I recently needed to distribute a 700MB
database. The smallest file I could get with Zip was 110MB, RAR's best
was 80MB, and an NSIS installer (including logic to set up the database)
was just over 60MB.

Yes, it is a problem.  For example, you cannot use frozen dll com
servers in a Python client program, at least if both use the same Python
version - the python23.dll is shared between all of these, as well as
sys.modules, the interpreter lock, sys.path, and so on.  The situation
may be better if each would use a separate interpreter, but this only
moves the problem into the extension modules - they are still shared.

You don't have to remove it manually, py2exe can do it for you.
For example, if py2exe decides to include _ssl.pyd, and you are sure you
don't need it, use the command line option "--excludes _ssl", and py2exe
will no longer copy it to the dist folder.  Same for other extensions or
pythn modules.  You can also use the options argument to the setup
function, if you want to avoid long command lines or if you prefer to
have this in the script.  It takes a little work but it pays of.

Another option is to use upx (google for it) to compress all the
executables, it does a good job, although it also has disadvantages:
larger memory consumtion at runtime, for example.

I'm off now for a two weeks vacation, so this may be my last response
for some time :-)

Thats the path im almost 'forced' to follow, since my programming 
knowledge (sp?) is lacking. Im new to python and im already jumping and 
trying to make a GUI :) Thank god I had some VB lessons in high school :S

I have checked the other toolkits you suggested, plus checked this list 
(http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/GuiProgramming), but since I 
rely too much on documentations and examples, venster and pywin32 arent 
good choices for me due to lack of docs, although i liked the idea 
behind venster. Maybe ill get there in a few years :)

On a somewhat related note, i tried to optimize my script that uses 
wxPython, and the dist folder is not at 9,62 Mb (was over 10 at first). 
The interesing part is: without wxPython at all (console), the dist size 
of a script that does the very same thing is 1.26mb. And we didn't talk 
about compression yet :)

Is this really a problem on win32 systems?

I thought that only the code is shared for loaded dll objects, and that DLL
based globals are in the user's process space.

Perhaps I don't understand the problem enough :-(

There are several steps you can take, in increasing order of difficulty:

- ignore the size of the dist directory, and try to compress the
  installer as much as possible to reduce the download size. There are
  some hints in the wiki, afaik.

- avoid using wxPython.  You could try to make a small gui with pywin32,
  or, better yet, switch to a ctypes based gui like venster.  IMO these
  solutions require more work than using Tkinter or wxPython.

- Look at the .pyd's that py2exe creates, and look into the files it
  packs into library.zip.  If for example you use the socket module in
  your app, py2exe will include _ssl.pyd, even if you don't use ssl
  connections.  py2exe looks at the import statements in the python
  modules you use, and includes all modules that are referenced here -
  even for conditional imports.
  Exclude all those modules that you don't need - this may require
  experimenting.

It may be possible in the future (I'm currently experimenting with this)
to create really small executables by using custom built static python
interpreters instead of python23.dll as it is currently done.

I managed to create non-trivial applications with a windows gui based on
ctypes, executables compressed with upx, and compressed library.zip file
with a total size of between 500 kB and 1 MB.  But that is the future...

BTW: There is still the idea in my head to create cross references with
Modulefinder (who imports what), but my time is limited.  If anyone
wants to help...

[Py2exe-users] py2exe and wxPython (ways to slim program's size?)

[Eric B. <bi...@ga...>]

Hi,

(First post here! Bear with me if this question doesnt belong here!)

Ive created a tiny win32 GUI application (that is, three buttons, 3 
textboxes and a checkbox, and registry access), and after compiling with 
py2exe, the dist folder size was 9 MB - thats kinda big for only a few 
buttons.

First, I suppose that py2exe import the whole module instead of only 
used functions. I may be wrong though.

The thing that bugs me is that BitTorrent (you should know that BT also 
uses py2exe, right?) doesnt have alot of _file.pyd in its distribution 
package, at most three, and in the meantime my build has 7.

I have looked in the BT source package to see if he wrote something to 
optimize its dist size in setup.py or something, but I cant find anthing 
worthy.

Is there any pointers to slim down my dist size?

The obvious pointer is to write a console only app, but id rather avoid 
that :) I noticed that a basic tkinter app takes 5Mbs, btw.

Thanks!

[Py2exe-users] psycopg problem with py2exe

[<Twe...@ao...>]

I was using psycopg beta version 1.19, but had to swith back to psycopg23 because of some problems.  when I was using the 1.19 version, py2exe worked fine creating executables.  Now that I'm using psycopg23 My executable won't execute.  I don't receive any errors when running py2exe, but I think it might be missing some files.  I had to install the mx toolkit for psycopg23, but not for the 1.19 version and i think that might be the problem.  The only thing is I don't know which files to add or import.  Can anyone help?

Folks,

I could successfully install the older release of py2exe - version 0.4.1 =
- contrained by the version of my python distribution.
Running the following setup script with the windows console command =
"python setup.py py2exe"  yields the error:
error in setup script: invalid distribution option 'console'

Yes, you cannot include extensions in the zip. py2exe creates small
python loaders which load the extensions from the file system. See
py2exe/build_exe.py.

The problem with PyOpenGL is that they have several extension modules
named __init__.pyd, in subdirectories.  Since py2exe copies all
extension modules into the dist (dist/lib?) directory without renaming
them, one would overwrite the other.  That's at least one problem.
Could be fixed by py2exe renaming them to OpenGL.GL.__init__.pyd, and
adjusting the python loader contained in the library.zip file.
But I don't know if that is enough.

Weren't the hints on the web page to exclude the PyOpenGL package
completely from the py2exe build process, and install it in the file
system as normal package - you just have to remember to put that
directory on sys.path, because the exe that py2exe builds *only* has
library.zip on sys.path?

Their hints are current as of py2exe 0.3.4. Much has changed since then.
I've been using 0.3.4 to build my product lately, but it seems to trip
over csv (I don't have that error currently) and this is a showstopper
for the new version of the product I'm building.

The PyOpenGL problem probably hinges on the (IIRC) fact that you can't
have anything other than native python code in the library.zip (is this
right?) I tried kludging some things together a while ago with 0.5.0
(manually adding the file to the .zip, etc ) with no appreciable
success... I may try again with 0.5.3.

[Py2exe-users] single file executables with py2exe

[Thomas H. <th...@py...>]

(Well, someone said he would wait for 0.6 for this to appear.  Maybe he
was right after all)

I have single file executables running as a proof of concept.

The reason I want to do this may *not* be what most people want (to
deploy only a single file), the reason for me is that this allows
complete isolation of dll com servers one from each other, and from the
executable they run in - because there is no longer a shared python.dll
used by all this components.

Instead, a Python interpreter is contained *statically* in the exe-stubs
that py2exe uses (run.exe, run_w.exe, later even run_dll.dll).  The
library.zip file, containing the pure python modules, is appended to the
exe as they were in older py2exe versions (it would as well be possible
to use the frozen-module mechanism instead of the zipimport, like
cx_Freeze does it).

The disadvantage, of course, is that it is no longer possible for the
exe or dll to import _any_ extension modules from the file system,
because the normal extension modules cannot link back to the exe.

This means that _any_ extension modules you wanted to use *must* be
builtin modules.

Now, how can this be achived?

So far, here are the ideas.

First, prebuilt exe stubs can be provided by the py2exe installer,
which would contain most of the standard extensions distributed by the
python.org installer (plus _ctypes, of course ;-).  But this wouldn't
allow using the pywin32 extensions, for example - unless some kind soul
builds all of them into the exe stubs as well.

Second, the exe stubs could be built (if a C compiler is installed) at
runtime when py2exe runs.  py2exe would collect the extension modules
needed, build a config.c file at runtime, and compiles this, linking to
static libraries of pywin32, wxPython, or whatever.

Comments?

Could it be that you have to patch the tcl\tix8.1\pkgIndex.tcl file in

Can you try this undocumented (and untested) option:

setup(...
    options = {"py2exe": {"unbuffered": 1}}
    )

Trying to get the latest py2exe to work with a package that uses OpenGL. 
I get this error when building:

In your application are you looking in Img directory? e.g. 
Img/PythonPowered.gif.  I have mine in images and within there I have a 
subdir of others, so in the program I get this by doing something along 
these lines:

self.bmpPython = 
wxStaticBitmap(bitmap=wxBitmap('images/others/PythonPowered.png',
               wxBITMAP_TYPE_PNG), id=wxID_WXDIALOG1BMPPYTHON, 
name='bmpPython',
               parent=self, pos=wxPoint(10, 124), size=wxSize(110, 67), 
style=0)

Sorry for the wrapping.

For options I have the following:
options = {"py2exe": {"compressed": 1,
                       "optimize": 2,
                       "packages": ["encodings", "kinterbasdb"]
                       }

You shouldn't need "encondings.latin_1" as that is included in encodings.

Then in the setup section I have this:
setup(
       classifiers = ["Copyright:: Werner F. Bruhin",
                      "Development Status :: 4 Beta",
                      "Natural Language :: English"],
       windows = [twcb],
       options = options,
       zipfile = zipfile,
       data_files = [("prog\\locale\\fr\\LC_MESSAGES",
 
["c:\\dev\\thewinecellarbook\\program\\locale\\fr\\LC_MESSAGES\\twcb.mo"]),
                     ("prog\\locale\\de\\LC_MESSAGES",
 
["c:\\dev\\thewinecellarbook\\program\\locale\\de\\LC_MESSAGES\\twcb.mo"]), 

                     ("prog\\locale\\en\\LC_MESSAGES",
 
["c:\\dev\\thewinecellarbook\\program\\locale\\en\\LC_MESSAGES\\twcb.mo"]),
                     ("prog\\images",
                         myimages),
                     ("prog\\images\\others",
                         myotherimages),
                     ("prog\\",
 
["c:\\dev\\thewinecellarbook\\program\\About_-_The_Wine_Cellar_Book.html",
 
"c:\\dev\\thewinecellarbook\\program\\exceptionmsg1.txt",
 
"c:\\dev\\thewinecellarbook\\program\\exceptionmsg2.txt",
 
"c:\\dev\\thewinecellarbook\\program\\__version__.py"])
                     ]
     )

Again sorry for the strange wrapping, something to do with my mail client.

[Py2exe-users] Directories and encodings

[LB <luc...@ti...>]

I can't bypass these two problem (working on win2000):

1) I try to put images file in a subdirectory 'Img' with:
data_files=[('Img', ['PythonPowered.gif']),
            ...
but the exe program can't find them. (It works if I make a copy of the
images in the dist directory).
How can I get it works right?

2) My applications require wxpython 2.4 in unicode version. (latin_1)
I worked around options to obtain codings to work with no success.
Problems arise with a pickle (and next reload) operation of numerical
data from a grid, I want to save and then reload to the grid.
from the log file:

saving:

EOFError:

I can't find a correct way to insert something like:

options = {"py2exe": {"packages": ["encodings","encodings.latin_1"]}},

this line seems to give an error and compilation stops.
Help please.

[Py2exe-users] Python: UNBUFFERED ISSUE

[Denis B. <bar...@bp...>]

Hi,

I was found this simple workaround in web:

http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/entry/versions/index.phtml?aid=4419

class AutoFlush:
    def __init__(self, stream):
        self.stream = stream
    def write(self, text):
        self.stream.write(text)
        self.stream.flush()

and at start of program, do next:

sys.stdout = AutoFlush(stdout)
sys.stderr = AutoFlush(stderr)

Regards,
Denis Barmenkov

PYTHONUNBUFFERED set)

Thanks,
