[Pythoncard-users] py2exe compiled windows .exe's won't execute properly. py2exe cre ates .exe but states: "The following modules appear to be missing ['wxPyt hon.lib.PyCrust.introspect']"

[Tim B. <tb...@bi...>]

Greetings, all. I have chosen to use wxPython/PythonCardPrototype to develop
front end apps to drive a set of tools I have developed in Python. I am
having trouble running executable versions of my PythonCard apps created
with py2exe. The console .exe's that I have created with py2exe seem to run
ok, but I have yet to create a windows version that will run.  I have thus
returned to square one to try and get a handle on what is going wrong.

 

The short story: py2exe creates minimal.exe but states: "The following
modules appear to be missing ['wxPython.lib.PyCrust.introspect']"
minimal.exe will execute but does not appear to properly run the PythonCard
app, I.e. it does nothing. Also, when I run minimal.exe from the command
line, no errors are output to the console.

 

The long story: 

 

1.      I am using Windows XP, Python version 2.3.3, wxPython version
2.4.2.4, PythonCardPrototype version 0.7.2, and py2exe version 0.5.0.

2.      I am using the minimalStandalone sample, which runs successfully
with python.exe or pythonw.exe.

3.      I am trying to compile the minimalStandalone sample, using the
following setup file setup.py (located in the same dir as my source files
minimal.py and minimal.rsrc.py):

 

from distutils.core import setup

import py2exe

 

setup(name="minimal",

      windows=["minimal.py"],

      data_files=[ (".", ["minimal.rsrc.py"]) ])

 

4.      I run py2exe from command line:

 

python setup.py py2exe --excludes=Image

 

     and get the following output:

The following modules appear to be missing

['wxPython.lib.PyCrust.introspect']

 

5.      As you can see, py2exe creates minimal.exe but states: "The
following modules appear to be missing ['wxPython.lib.PyCrust.introspect']"

6.      minimal.exe runs but does not appear to execute the app. When I run
minimal.exe from the command line, no errors are output to the console.

 

Does anyone know what might be going wrong?

 

Thanks,
