[Py2exe-users] Python service problems

[David F. <da...@sj...>]

Hi

We are trying to debug a problem with services created using py2exe.
It seems that these problems have arisen after services were installed 
and removed a few times.

OK, first the actual problem we're seeing.  After compiling a service
with py2exe, running "service -install" and attempting to start it from
the Services dialog, it pops up the message "Windows could not start the
Service on Local Computer.  For more information, review the System
Event Log.  If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service
vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 1.".

The only thing in the System Event Log is an error logged by Service
Control Manager saying the service terminated with service-specific error 1.

Now, the causes.  On all the computers we've seen this problem, the
service has been installed at least once before and has been able to
start/stop properly.  On two of the computers, the problem arose after
uninstalling the service, installing it with "python service.py service
--install", running it with pythonservice in debug mode, uninstalling it
with "python service.py service --remove", and then reinstalling from
the executable.  Since then, the only way it ill run is from
pythonservice in debug mode.

On the third computer, the service was installed from executable, and
then reinstalled from an updated executable.  I'm not sure how many
times the old executable was installed and uninstalled (at most three 
times), but the updated
executable only ran once, and then showed the error.

One thing I noticed about the first computer is that, even after
uninstalling everything, there were some registry entries to do with the
installed services.  I could not delete these entries - I got an access
denied error (details below)

Does anybody have any ideas?

TIA,
David Fraser

Registry details: The service is called jHistExportService

The important remnant seems to be:
  HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services\jHistExportService and children

which actually holds details of how to run the service.  For the record, 
the other remnants are:
  HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root\LEGACY_JHISTEXPORTSERVICE and children

HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\EventLog\Application\jHistExportService 
and children

HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services\EventLog\Application\jHistExportService 
and children
  HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_JHISTEXPORTSERVICE

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Application\jHistExportService

I think it is because the *only* entry in sys.path is the library.zip
file.

See <http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/moin.cgi/Py2exeEnvironment>

You should probably in your script check for the sys.frozen attribute,
and extend sys.path yourself.

[Bruno S. <bms...@gm...>]

Hi Tacao,

Thanks for your prompt answer, but unfortunatly is still not working.
All the glob does is to easy the copy of ".py" or ".pyc" files into the
subdirectory "pool".

It fails when I try to import a .py file stored in the "pool" module dire=
ctory.

         try:
             myModule =3D __import__("pool.classnode", globals(), locals(=
), ["getNodeInfo"])
         except ImportError, aError:
             print aError

So, I get a error message of : "No module named pool.classnode"

This makes me beleive that it is something related in the way that py2exe=
 stores
the module information. Therefore I'm still stucked with the same problem.

The current setup.py look like this:
# setup.py
 from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
import glob

includes =3D ["pool"]

setup(
     version =3D "0.3.5",
     description =3D "Struct-A-File - Binary File Formatter",
     name =3D "Struct-A-File",
     author=3D"Bruno Santos ",
     author_email=3D"bm...@gm...",

     # targets to build
     console =3D ["beefBuilder.py"],

     scripts =3D ["Node.py",
               "DataNode.py",
               "datanodegui.py",
               "gui.py" ],

     data_files=3D[("images", ["images/BeefBuilder.ico",
			    "images/add-arrow.bmp",
			    "images/add-node.bmp",
			    "images/subtract.bmp",
			    "images/struct-a-file.gif",
			    "images/export.bmp",
			    "images/new.bmp",
			    "images/open.bmp",
			    "images/save.bmp"]),
			    ("pool", glob.glob("pool/*.py")) ],
     )

Any further help will be appreciated.

Regards,

[Py2exe-users] How to add a package loaded at run time

[Bruno S. <bms...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I've developped a small application in Python and, I'm trying to use
py2exe to convert it into an executable.

My application has a root directory where the main script is along with
a few others. Then, when executed it loads all the ".py" or ".pyc"
files stored in module "pool" from the root directory. The idea is that
later on, other users can extend future files that will be used by the
main application stored in the root directory.

When converted into an executable, somehow I'm no longer able to load
the .py files from module pool. I've tryed several ways, but with no
success.

Here is my setup.py configuration:

# setup.py
 from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

setup(
     version = "0.3.5",
     author="Bruno Santos ",
     author_email="bm...@gm...",

     # targets to build
     console = ["beefBuilder.py"],

     scripts = ["Node.py",
               "DataNode.py",
               "datanodegui.py",
               "gui.py" ],

     data_files=[("images", ["images/BeefBuilder.ico",
			    "images/add-arrow.bmp",
			    "images/add-node.bmp",
			    "images/subtract.bmp",
			    "images/struct-a-file.gif",
			    "images/export.bmp",
			    "images/new.bmp",
			    "images/open.bmp",
			    "images/save.bmp",
			    "pool/classnode.py",
                       "pool/switchnode.py"]) ],
     )


Any idea why?
Regards,

If you're distributing proprietary software, then the fact that the

License agreements can include agreeing not to recompile / reverse

Hello,

as far I know, Python source are easy recoverable from bytecode (*.pyc) 
files, so you can send *.py ;-)

I suppose, for more detailed diagnostic you can use python profiler 
(profile module) or logging module (for timestamping function calling).

Unqualified except's are bad, since they hide the error from you.
If you change the code above into
        ...
    except:
        import traceback
        traceback.print_exc()
        ...

than you would have seen the traceback when running the exe:
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "hello.py", line 17, in Uni2Latin
    File "codecs.pyc", line 569, in open
  LookupError: unknown encoding: utf-16

This at least gives a hint: the encodings are not included.  They are
imported dynamically, so you must help py2exe, either this way, to
include all encodings:
    python setup.py py2exe -p encodings
or in this way, to only include the utf-16 and Latin-1 encodings:
    python setup.py py2exe -i encodings.utf_16,encodings.latin_1

If you prefer to avoid the command line options (which is recommended),
in your setup script you can write:

setup(...
      options = {'py2exe': {'packages': 'encodings'}},
      ...)

or

setup(...
      options = {'py2exe': {'includes': ['encodings.utf_16',
                                         'encodings.latin_1']}},
      ...)

Try and include "encodings" in the list of packages you give to py2exe 
(-p encodings on the command line or in the options dictionary).
Then it should work

[Py2exe-users] utf-16

[<R.R...@ve...>]

Hello

if have a function which converts uft-16 to latin-1


import codecs

def Uni2Latin(datei):
    try:
        inFile = codecs.open(datei, 'r', encoding="utf-16")
        outFile = codecs.open(datei+'.txt', 'w', encoding="Latin-1")
        lines = inFile.readlines()
        outFile.writelines(lines)
        inFile.close()
        outFile.close()
        return True
    except:
        return False

This works fine, but if I use this func. in a program made by py2exe this functions is not able to open a utf-16 files.

Any advice would be appreciated

Thanks

This request comes up from time to time - I know it would be nice but I
don't have any use for it.  My applications are installed by installers
like wise or inno setup.

There are third party tools which promise to do this - although I
haven't tried them (one is named pebundle).

And if someone creates a patch ;-)

I for one would really need this functionality of stuffing all files =
into one executable.
It is too compilated to handle two files, eventually only the exe file =
will be copied.

I know thats not that efford to copy two files instead of one - but i =
know that sooner or later some scripts will be broken because of the zip =
file missing at the end users system.

Thanks for your efford,

The problem with this is that it's possible anyway.  If winzip is
installed, right clicking an exe-file which contains a zip-archive in
explorer automatically gets 'Extract to ...' and 'Run with Winzip' menu
entries, and doing a drag-drop operation with the right mouse button
also, in addition to the usual 'Create Shortcut' entry.

If you want to obscure the zip-archive imo the best way is to specify a
filename with a different extension, say 'zipfile=shared.dll' for
example.  At least this will avoid the winzip 'problem'.

In priciple it would be possible - zipimport can handle archives
prepended by an exe-stub.  I'll think about it - but it will not be in
the soon-to-be-released 0.5.1.

I think so. Some apps are too shy and don't like curious end users to

There's no way.  It is now always in the zip file, the zip can be shared
between several (possibly) related exe or dll files which you can build
with one setup script.  Technically, it should be possible to append the
zip archive to the exe file itself, but what would you gain?  One file
less to distribute - is it worth the effort?

[Py2exe-users] How to place all modules inside .exe?

[E. A. T. <e.a...@te...>]

Hello,

I wrote an app in Python 2.2.2/wxPython 2.4.2.4. While at that, I used
py2exe 0.4.1 to generate my dist under WinXP. The main .exe file was
about 800kB.

Now I upgraded to Python 2.3.3/wxPython 2.5.1.5/py2exe 0.5.0 and I'm
facing an issue: my .exe file is only 44kB and there's a 'library.zip'
file that contains several modules.

I guess on 0.4.1 the required modules were inside the .exe file (there
wasn't a 'library.zip' here and everything worked fine). How should I
tell py2exe 0.5.0 that I still want them inside the .exe file?

Thanks in advance,

Never mind - figured it out. I hate it when that happens!

changed:

	setup(com_server=["testcom"])

And all works well.

[Py2exe-users] Simple COM Server

[Sean F <wsf...@ea...>]

What do I need to do to build my script as a COM server with py2exe?

As a learning tool, I'm using the code in the "Quick Start to Server 
side COM" documentation included with win32all, saved as testcom.py

     # testcom.py
     class HelloWorld:
	_reg_clsid_ = "{1B6DDB9E-5817-4BD8-9085-625DBB6304C9}"
	_reg_desc_ = "Python Test COM Server"
	_reg_progid_ = "Python.TestServer"
	_public_methods_ = ['Hello']
	_public_attrs_ = ['softspace', 'noCalls']
	_readonly_attrs_ = ['noCalls']

	def __init__(self):
	    self.softspace = 1
	    self.noCalls = 0
	
	def Hello(self, who):
	    self.noCalls = self.noCalls + 1
	    # insert "softspace" number of spaces
	    return "Hello" + " " * self.softspace + who

     if __name__=='__main__':
     # ni only for 1.4!
	import win32com.server.register
	win32com.server.register.UseCommandLine(HelloWorld)

When I run this script, the server is registered, and I can call it from 
other apps. Exactly the behavior I want.

So, now I want to build this with py2exe, so I built the following setup 
script:

     # setup.py
     from distutils.core import setup
     import py2exe

     setup(com_server=["testcom.HelloWorld"])

When I run "python setup.py py2exe", it fails:

     Traceback (most recent call last):
       File "setup.py", line 4, in ?
	setup(com_server=["testcom.HelloWorld"])
       File "c:\python23\lib\distutils\core.py", line 149, in setup
	dist.run_commands()
       File "c:\python23\lib\distutils\dist.py", line 907, in
        run_commands
	self.run_command(cmd)
       File "c:\python23\lib\distutils\dist.py", line 927, in run_command
	cmd_obj.run()
       File "c:\python23\lib\site-packages\py2exe\build_exe.py", line
        187, in run
	self.find_needed_modules(mf, required_files, required_modules)
       File "c:\python23\lib\site-packages\py2exe\build_exe.py", line
        809, in find_needed_modules
	mf.import_hook(mod)
       File "c:\python23\lib\modulefinder.py", line 125, in import_hook
	m = self.load_tail(q, tail)
       File "c:\python23\lib\modulefinder.py", line 191, in load_tail
	raise ImportError, "No module named " + mname
     ImportError: No module named testcom.HelloWorld

I can clearly see what I am doing wrong - com_server needs to be 
module.Class, but my script is not a module.

I've tried putting testcom.py into site-packages - when I do, I'm able 
to import it as a module, but the setup script fails with the same error.

Any suggestions?

Thanks -

Sean F

At the moment its working fairly well (see the stuff on the wxPython list)
Its going to be interesting working out how to use distutils + py2exe to 
bundle wxPRE either by itself or with an application
Also looking at creating installers based on py2exe...

Please see the code in py2exe/boot_service.py, and

Would you like to create a patch?

py2exe uses standard distutils conventions: you can also provide an
options named parameter instead of command line options to the setup
function, in this way:

setup(...,
     options = {"py2exe": { "packages": ["wx"]},
               ...},
     ...)
