py2exe-users — Discussion of the py2exe package

Re: [Py2exe-users] .exe file working on my computer but not other computers

[Jeremy K. <jer...@gm...>]

Ok.  Here is a little script to see what imports are required for a
given module:

# -- begin --
import sys
initial = set(sys.modules)
# change this import as needed for testing
import numpy.core.multiarray
# determine which modules have been added by the import statement
loaded = set(sys.modules) - initial
# remove "placeholder" modules
loaded -= set(name for name in loaded if sys.modules[name] is None)
# remove built-in modules
loaded -= set(name for name in loaded if not
hasattr(sys.modules[name], '__file__'))
# finally, find the extension modules
for name in loaded:
  fn = sys.modules[name].__file__
  if fn.lower().endswith('.pyd'):
    print(fn)
# -- end --

Copy/Paste the above into a new .py file and run it with python:

python somefile.py

The output will be the names of extension modules which are needed by
the given import.  A quick test locally produces:

C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\numpy\random\mtrand.pyd
C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\numpy\core\umath.pyd
C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\numpy\fft\fftpack_lite.pyd
C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\numpy\core\multiarray.pyd
C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\numpy\linalg\_umath_linalg.pyd
C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\numpy\linalg\lapack_lite.pyd

The listed files should exist in the DIST directory of py2exe executable.

Sorry Kloth,

I used datetime only. While writing to you, I made a mistake. The order in my mainscript is:


from Tkinter import *
import numpy.core.multiarray
import math as ma # maths operations
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # plotting
import numpy as np # for arrays
from scipy.integrate import ode # for integration
if 0:
	import datetime

Re: [Py2exe-users] .exe file working on my computer but not other computers

[Sharma, G. <gir...@wu...>]

Hi Kloth,

The same error persists even after adding 'import time'.

I was just wondering about the Error
   File "numpy\core\multiarray.pyc", line 10, in __load

I do not have the .py file in my system. I just have the multiarray.pyc file which I cannot read. So, do you what exactly is written in line 10, which it is unable to load?

Please suggest something. I have spent enormous amount of time in trying to solve this problem. Is it even solvable? What am I missing?

In the mainscript.py file usually as it is not needed for the library
to operate normally.

Its location is not really that important.  But, to keep related
things together, I would place it after the other imports in the file.

There are three options:
1. setup.py file
2. mainscript.py file (I have just one file)
3. somewhere else (in some .py file in library)

Also, where exactly in the file. In the beginning of the imports or somewhere else?

multiarray.py is a stub file generated by py2exe for loading
multiarray.pyd.  It will not be found in the normal Python module
locations.

Actually, in this case it is a module that is imported *by* multiarray
that is missing.

As I alluded to above, the multiarray module does imports in C which
py2exe cannot discover.  The missing import is 'datetime'  from the
Python standard library.

The "trick" used for adding missing modules to py2exe-generated
executables is to add an:

if 0:
  import missing_module_1
  import missing_module_2

to the main executable that is scanned by the py2exe setup.py.  For
you, it should be sufficient to add "import datetime" to the forced
import block:

if 0:
  import datetime

and regenerate the executable.

Dear Massa,

I understood what you are saying. Thank you for explaining it more clearly to a newbie.

To analyse the problem:
 - read the file  numpy\core\multiarray.py
- check which file is imported in line 10

But,
I could not find numpy\core\multiarray.py file in C:\Anaconda2\Lib\site-packages\numpy\core. Though I found multiarray.pyd file which I cannot open and see.

which makes your error message rather suspicious. Anyway, multiarray.pyd is probably the binary file that is missing.

Have you checked if it is copied into the build directory?


Build directory has numpy\core\multiarray.pyc file.
Dist directory has numpy\core\multiarray.pyd file.

import sys
import numpy.core
import numpy.core.mutliarray


Anyways, I imported them in my mainscript.py. The exe ran on my computer as usual. But on a different computer, it showed me a bit different error.


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Moment_Final.py", line 4, in <module>
  File "numpy\__init__.pyc", line 180, in <module>

ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

I am really not sure, what exactly am I missing.
line 4 of the Moment_Final.py (which is my mainscript.py) is:

import numpy.core

Please help.

py2exe loads the files directly from the single file (or the additional
zip-file, when not opting for the single file version).

That includes binary files (.pyd, .dll) There is some "load dll from memory
code" included with py2exe. No temporary files are spilled to disk.

I am distributing these kind of single-file-applications to customers since
~14 years. It is not really single file, as some Micosoft C Runtime files
need to be distributed additionally.


HOWEVER: when you use Python modules that dynamically create files to
import, that may spill stuff out to disk - dynamically created bindings for
com-Modules may be that way.

Additionally, that "grab all necessary dlls and bundle them in an .exe" can
be troublesome, as sometimes to many .dlls are identified as necessary.
That takes a quite some research each time Microsoft decides to put out
different dependencies in some system areas; and then new lines in the
exclude-directive. I felt that pain with every major windows update.

[Py2exe-users] Behavior of a bundled executable

[Jamal M. <Jam...@fc...>]

Using py2exe configuration options, if an executable is built to be, as much as possible, a single .exe file, does it create needed components on disk as temporary files when initially loading?  Based on the documentation of alternatives to py2exe, cx_Freeze and PyInstaller, they create such temporary files.  I am unclear from the documentation of py2exe whether it does so as well.

I was hoping that components bundled into a py2exe executable are accessed in memory at runtime rather than saved to disk as temporary files, thereby acting more like an executable compiled with other programming languages, even though being considerably larger in size.  If that is not the case, however, I wish to be informed accurately.  Can anyone shed light on this?

probably the binary file that is missing.

Have you checked if it is copied into the build directory?

pyexe builds an exe and a zip; or, if run in the single file mode, just an
.exe. That .exe can be "unzipped" by using 7zip. That allows you to check:
has multiarray.pyd be included?

The tools used by py2exe aim to find all needed library feels by simulating
the imports. As Python is more dynamic than anybody imagines; that may fail.

A trick that often works is: explicitly import the file

so, in your main script file, add the lines

import numpy.core
import numpy.core.mutliarray

and after doing the setup.py build step, check if mutliarray.pyd is
included in the build directory / the zipped up .exe file.

Re: [Py2exe-users] .exe file working on my computer but not other computers

[Sharma, G. <gir...@wu...>]

Hi Massa,


Thank you for your quick response. I am a newbie to py2exe and a chemical Engineer by profession with little knowledge of computer science. So, please spare me if I do not understand some basics.

Update:
My exe is running on computers which have Anaconda 2.7 64-bit version installed on their computers.

You said:
To analyse the problem:
 - read the file  numpy\core\multiarray.py
- check which file is imported in line 10

But,
I could not find numpy\core\multiarray.py file in C:\Anaconda2\Lib\site-packages\numpy\core. Though I found multiarray.pyd file which I cannot open and see.

Also, could you please specify that how do I solve the problem using solution b) by using  my_toplevel_file_with_py2exepatches.py: and import statements.

[Py2exe-users] .exe file working on my computer but not other computers

[Sharma, G. <gir...@wu...>]

Hi all,


System:

Windows 7 64-bit

Anaconda 2.7 64-bit

py2exe 64-bit

Background:

I converted my python code to .exe using py2exe and setup.py file shown below:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

from distutils.filelist import findall
import matplotlib

opts = {"py2exe": {
    "packages" : ['matplotlib'],
    "includes": ['scipy', 'scipy.integrate', 'scipy.special.*','scipy.linalg.*'],
         'dll_excludes': ['libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll',
                            'libgobject-2.0-0.dll',
            'libgdk_pixbuf-2.0-0.dll']
                     }
           }

setup(
      windows = [{'script': "with_GUI.py"}], zipfile = None,
      options= opts,
      data_files = matplotlib.get_py2exe_datafiles()
     )

But this gave me some error saying that there was version conflict with two files. So I changed the two files viz. dist/tcl/tcl8.5/init.tcl (in line 19) and dist/tcl/tk8.5/tk.tcl (in line 18). In my case I changed the version from 8.5.15 to 8.5.18. I found the location of the two files by looking at the path specified by the error in error log. Then the .exe worked just fine.

Problem:

I zipped the dist folder which contains .exe file. Then, I unzipped it on another computer but it is not working there. Following is the error it shows:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Moment_Final.py", line 5, in <module>
  File "matplotlib\__init__.pyc", line 122, in <module>
  File "matplotlib\cbook.pyc", line 33, in <module>
  File "numpy\__init__.pyc", line 180, in <module>
  File "numpy\add_newdocs.pyc", line 13, in <module>
  File "numpy\lib\__init__.pyc", line 8, in <module>
  File "numpy\lib\type_check.pyc", line 11, in <module>
  File "numpy\core\__init__.pyc", line 14, in <module>
  File "numpy\core\multiarray.pyc", line 12, in <module>
  File "numpy\core\multiarray.pyc", line 10, in __load
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

Please guide me what am I missing.

Re: [Py2exe-users] issue with non unicode characters

[John D. <moo...@gm...>]

You'll have to modify the C code the binary runs on. Most of that should
take place in /source/start.c

You can look at my fork for a working example. Once you are done with
your changes you'll have to build the package from source, then install it.

Hi,
thanks for your suggestion.
How would I have to proceed in order to build with Wide characters?
Thanks

[Py2exe-users] Unable to download PY2EXE from Sourceforge

[LEON H. <le...@bt...>]

Whenever I try to download PY2EXE from Sourceforge I get about 500 kb,  and then nothing!

I'm using Win 7 x64.

Any ideas as to why would be appreciated.

This has to do with the inner workings of the prebuilt binary. It's
built around A (for ANSI) calls and you need replace them with W (for
wide char) calls.

[Py2exe-users] issue with non unicode characters

[Gianluca C. <gia...@gm...>]

Dear all,
I'm having some troubles with some specific characters in the
installation folder.
If I convert my script and run it from a simple named folder, say
c:\myprogram\myscript.exe, everything works fine.
If I put the same script in a folder with other characters, say
c:\myprogram\ááá\myscript.exe, I get the error that the program cannot
load python27.dll... and I can assure you that the dll is in that
folder.

I assume the issue has to do with the "á" symbol in the path but I
don't know how to solve it and which file to modify. Perhaps the
setup.py file? or should I put something in my scripts' headers?

Any help is welcome.
Thanks,
Gianluca

I would trust what Mark says about this. He is one of the foremost
authorities on Python as it relates to Windows in general, and py2exe in
particular. And that's been the case for many years. Only Thomas Heller has
contributed more code to py2exe than Mark. His answer also matches my vague
memory of things from when I was more deeply familiar with py2exe's inner
workings.

It's been quite a few years, but last I recall, py2exe makes no attempt 
to update the checksum after modifying the executable. A quick google 
tells me I said the same thing 6 years ago too :)

HTH,

Re: [Py2exe-users] link checksum and avast

[Gufflet Y. <yve...@or...>]

Thanks Dan and Mark for your answers.
It appears you do not tell the same thing.
Mark, did you answer on the basis of the forum link I sent, or do you 
know the heart of py2exe ?
Dan did you check the checksum with depends.exe or did you assume you 
had no problem with checksum ?

Could you check for your executables what it indicates with depends.exe ?

http://www.dependencywalker.com/

Effectively, I am deploying without python installed and I had a lot of 
problem to incorporate with a manifest the versions 9.0.21022.8 of 
msvcr90.dll (and co). And I thought it was the problem. I used by error 
32 bits version and then 64 bits version. Still do not work and then I 
saw it was conflicting with AV. I cannot assume that the person do not 
use AV or that an antivirus will not block because of an invalid link 
checksum.

Have you got any idea of a minimal configuration for the build that do 
not generate this link checksum ?

Do you think it is because the dll used at compilation or at runtime are 
not the same and that I am still having problem with dll hell or winsws 
hell ?

Any suggestions ?

Re: [Py2exe-users] link checksum and avast

[Mark H. <ski...@gm...>]

This is due to how py2exe works - it uses a pre-built stub and appends 
data to it without attempting to change any checksums. There's not much 
you can do about that (and probably no value in avast flagging it as a 
problem either - AV software seems to be in a race to the bottom)

[Py2exe-users] link checksum and avast

[Gufflet Y. <yve...@or...>]

Hi,

I generated an executable with py2exe but it fails to run on my machine 
when avast is running.
I discovered with Dependency Walker that the "link checksum" for the exe 
is in red and differs from the "real checksum"
I am not sure about the origin of the problem (virus or py2exe way of 
doing things) neither how to fix it (I cannot guaranty that the final 
user will have avast or not)
Any idea ?

Thanks in advance,

Yves
