[PyOpenGL-Devel] PyOpenGL and py2exe

[Carlos D. R. V. <cls...@eg...>]

Hello, I'm doing some wxPython + PyOpenGL work and wanted to use py2exe
to destribute the binaries to my users, however I noted that PyOpenGL
dosen't play nice ;)

The problem is very simple actually, the file OpenGL/__init__.py reads
the file OpenGL/version, the problem with py2exe is that this file isn't
recognized as part of the module and isn't included, but what is worst,
PyOpenGL tries to load it by using open, when this file is likely to be
inside a zip file (along with other modules), and will fail.

One posible way to solve this is to convert the version file to a python
file (version.py) and import it from __init__.py, version.py should have
the version number in __version__, this way py2exe can recognize it and
include it, and PyOpenGL will be able to load it without problems.

If there is a need for a patch or something I can provide it.
