Hi Virgil, Please post to the list, either wxPython or for this it is probably better to use the py2exe list.

The one I used is naming them in the second to last line. http://wiki.wxpython.org/py2exe But this is probably not your problem. Have you copied the setup.py and the sample app I used for the above wiki.

The way I use py2exe is to let it create a zip file with most of the stuff needed by the application, so instead of having about 90 folders and over 1,200 files which is used by my application I have one zip file. It contains most of the modules/files of my application plus most of the library type stuff I use in my application (comtypes, ctypes, dateutil, distutils, email, encodings, kinterbasdb, matplotlib ......... etc etc). A disadvantage is that one has to have two copies of the dll's, therefore the double entry in the data_files. Robin was going to look into if wxPython could be changed in a way that this second copy is not needed. I guess he has not had time or has not find a clean solution for this yet. > > The following error is generated when I execute your setup.py file: > > c:\Python26\lib\site-packages\py2exe\build_exe.py:16: > DeprecationWarning: the sets module is deprecated > import sets As previously mentioned this is just a "Warning" and does not affect the creation of the exe. The "sets" module is deprecated in 2.6 and I believe will be removed in Py3.0, but is being replace by some built in stuff - but the py2exe developers will have to change py2exe to correct this - as it is only a warning it is probably not very high on their list. > > > and no folders/files are created!

I am primarily on Vista and have created/tested the setup etc shown on the wiki on Vista and then run the generated application on XP, 2000, Win7 and Vista. > > I hope that I am not overloading you with these emails --- if yes, > just let me know.

I suggest to do the following: - copy the sample stuff I did on the above wiki to some folder on your machine and make that build - if it does not build in its current form I would like to hear what errors you get. - when above works go back to your setup.py and make sure that it is equivalent to the one shown in the above wiki. When you get it working then you can start tweaking it the way you want to have - as what I show is definitely not the only way to do all this. Werner |
