[Pythoncard-users] evaluating compiled Python expressions makes my py2exe-compiled P ythonCard app crash

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

I've got a PythonCard app that I have been converting to win32 standalone
using py2exe to distribute. I've been using the resulting .exe for a while
with no problems, but recently I made a seemingly minor change to my app
that causes the resulting windows .exe (without console) to crash,
presumably somewhere on background init. My app uses several constants that
are defined in a module, Constants.py, which contains simple assignment
statements like "a=1", "b=a", and "c=a+b". Previously, at the top of my app,
I was simply doing "from Constants import *". But I wanted to be able to
empower the user to dynamically update the constants used in their app
without having to update the entire distribution folder. So I made the
following change:

 

From:

 

from Constants import *

 

To:

 

    try:

        f = open("Constants.py", "r")

        lines = f.readlines()

        for line in lines:

            try:

                eval(compile(string.replace(line,"\n",""), "", "single"))

            except exceptions.StandardError, e:

                traceback.print_exc()

        f.close()

    except exceptions.StandardError, e:

        print "\n\n\n" + line + "\n\n\n"

        print e

        traceback.print_exc()

        f.close()

 

so that these variables get defined in the namespace of my Pythoncard app by
compiling each expression and evaluating it dynamically.

 

Now, the interesting thing is that the app runs fine under python.exe and
pythonw.exe, and even the py2exe-generated console .exe. But the windows
.exe won't run. Apparently, no errors are occurring in the above block
because no tracebacks are being printed. Any ideas what might be going
wrong? Are there any known problems with dynamically evaluating compiled
expressions in a py2exe app?

 

FYI - I tried using execfile("Constants.py") instead of evaluating
individual lines, and the result is identical: runs fine under python.exe,
pythonw.exe, and the py2exe-generated console .exe, but the windows .exe
won't run.

 

Thanks,

Tim

Hi folks,
I've just subscribed to this list so this is a presentation: my name is 
Andrea, I'm 25, I am from Italy and I was an HyperCard fellower.

I am new to python and I'm trying to understand something deep inside 
it, could you suggest me something to read ?

Thanks

Yes, I can see that 1.0 should be a finished
implementation of the initial concepts.  It is a great
tool for what it does.  It has weaned me off of
wxPython, maybe a bit too much at this point in time
since I now have to get my mind around it again.  

However, I definetly think that the 2.x goal should be
a more ambitious one (something like full support for
wxPython widgets for example ;).

So, maybe it is still to early to talk about this. 
1.0 seems to be very close, and very worth while. 
But, thanks for your in depth response.

[Pythoncard-users] updated childWindow function for release 0.7.3.1

[Kevin A. <al...@se...>]

Below is the updated childWindow function in model.py that should be 
able to find the resource file for a given background module based on 
the module name. The code is for release 0.7.3.1. The function starts 
on line 138 in model.py.

You still need to include your .rsrc.py files in the data_files list 
your py2exe setup.py script. The code below assumes that the module is 
in the library.zip file, so it won't work for the McMillan installer or 
bundlebuilder or freeze, so for those tools you'll need to continue to 
provide the path or loaded Resource for a child window in a standalone.

def childWindow(parent, frameClass, filename=None, rsrc=None):
     if filename is None:

I don't know, but I'm guessing that you'll be better off with raw 
wxPython in the short-term. There are a number of conceptual and code 
issues with supporting wxNotebook in the current PythonCard framework. 
Just creating a wxNotebook component would be a simple wrapper. Then 
there is the question of what goes into the wxNotebook pages. The 
current Background class is a wxFrame that contains a wxPanel and all 
the components go on that. What we probably need for wxNotebook is a 
lot of the Background functionality, but for it to just be a wxPanel. 
Every page in the wxNotebook would sort of be like a child window. The 
reference to a particular component on each page might be long-winded 
outside of the page itself, but when just referring to siblings it 
would look like it does today in a Background.

Supporting wxNotebook in the resourceEditor is much more work and I 
would want to save that until the resourceEditor is refactored; I use 
the term refactored loosely since it will be more like building the 
beast from scratch. If PythonCard adopted the XRC file format the only 
sensible way to do that would be to start working with Roman Rolinsky 
and leverage the code he has already done on XRCed.

We're still relying on some of the design decisions and simplifications 
we made in PythonCard several years ago and that is limiting some of 
the things we might do. One of the big reasons to finish off 1.0 
without radically changing the basic PythonCard design is so that work 
can be started on 2.0, which might end up much more in sync with other 
wxWidget tools like XRC resource editor. One of the big questions is 
still who is the target audience for PythonCard 1.0 or 2.0? If someone 
is comfortable with wxPython then PythonCard 1.0 probably doesn't make 
much sense for them.

The XRCed resource editor is just a way of editing XRC files. So it is 
analogous to the PythonCard resourceEditor as a way of building 
layouts. But it isn't a framework like PythonCard. If you adopted the 
PythonCard naming conventions for events, it would be relatively easy 
to adapt the PythonCard event binding that will be in release 0.8 and 
use that along with XRC files. That still requires the programmer to 
understand a lot more of the guts of wxPython, but would be very good 
solution for those that want it.

Anyway, I would love to get feedback on what parts of Boa, wxGlade, XRC 
resource editor, etc. people on this list like and are comfortable with 
and what they don't like or find too daunting.

With an unmodified release 0.7.3.1 you will need to build the path=20

I'm not running Fedora (or even Red Hat) but it sounds to me like you 
have a problem with either your Gnome, pyGTK or wxPython installations. 
Does you desktop work OK? Can you run the wxPython demo?

 From looking at the error message you should have problems displaying 
any normal accept/cancel dialogue windows, do you see problems with 
other applications?

Andy

[Pythoncard-users] wxNotebook again ...

[Ruben M. <rmc...@ya...>]

I know that it is not a simple matter to add support
for wxNotebook as things stand now.  However, I was
wondering if plans are to do so in the future.  I
noticed that wxPython now ships with XRC and an XRC
Editor.  It looks like some of the goals of this
effort are simmilar to PythonCard's.  Also, it seems
that they have some support for wxNotebook on it
already (although I have not yet figured out how it
all works).  So, I wonder if PythonCard can benefit
from some of the work, code, or concepts from the XRC
project.

Just wondering as I am currently having to go back to
raw wxPython for an app that I really think will be
better using wxNotebook.

Re: [Pythoncard-users] still can't compile apps wth child wondows

[Ruben M. <rmc...@ya...>]

If your app works well before using py2exe then 
this is really not a PythonCard question but a py2exe
question.  You should focus some of your resources in
reading and understanding how py2exe works.

Now, if you really want more help you need to provide
more info.  What error messages do you get?  When you
say that you included the resource file for the child
window of your app, what do you mean?  Do you mean
that you included it by manually copying the file into
the same folder of your exe (which I believe should
work), or did you try to include it by means of
py2exe.  If the latter, are you sure you did it right
as per the py2exe documentation?

If you look at the minimalStandalone.py sample you will see the=20
following comment:

# KEA 2001-12-11
# if you want to build a standalone executable using py2exe
# then uncomment the import line below
# due to the way the dynamic imports of components work, each
# component that an app uses needs to be imported statically when
# doing a py2exe build
from PythonCard.components import textfield

So, in your app .py file you have to provide similar imports for every=20=

component you use.

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

The word button does not appear in my app .py file and it only appears in my
resource .rsrc.py file once, in the component declaration for it's type (I
have one button in this one). Also, my py2exe setup file is as basic as it
gets: 

from distutils.core import setup

import py2exe

setup( name = "BOAMessenger",

       console = ["BOAMessenger.py"],

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

       )

This is why I think it's a PythonCard issue.

Did you add an explicit import of the button component to your code=20
such as:

from PythonCardPrototype.components import button

as in the examples, and/or tell py2exe to include that module when it=20
does its build? All components are imported dynamically, so py2exe has=20=

no way of knowing which components you used in the resource. Thomas and=20=

I have had some recent discussion about how to best inform py2exe of=20
the necessary imports and there is a discussion about the issue going=20
on on the ctypes-users mailing list as well which you can read on gmane=20=

as gmane.comp.python.ctypes. See the Metadata for py2exe thread.

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

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

All my py2exe errors have gone away since upgrading from Pythoncard 0.7.2.
to 0.7.3.1 and from wxPython 2.4.2.4 to 2.5.1.5. The app runs fine with no
errors using python. However, the resulting .exe does not run properly. I
built and ran it as a console exe, after putting an exception handler around
the instantiation of the PythonCardApp, and here is what's going wrong:

 

cannot import module 'button

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "BOAMessenger.py", line 383, in ?

  File "PythonCardPrototype\model.pyc", line 218, in __init__

  File "PythonCardPrototype\res.pyc", line 48, in getResource

  File "PythonCardPrototype\res.pyc", line 86, in __init__

  File "PythonCardPrototype\res.pyc", line 91, in __init__

  File "PythonCardPrototype\res.pyc", line 91, in __init__

  File "PythonCardPrototype\res.pyc", line 96, in __init__

  File "PythonCardPrototype\res.pyc", line 130, in enforceSpec

  File "PythonCardPrototype\res.pyc", line 30, in loadComponentModule

ImportError: cannot import module 'button

 

It looks like there is a typo somewhere. I double checked my resource file,
but the button component is:

{'type':'Button', 

    'name':'btnSend', 

    'position':(5, 5), 

    'size':(40, -1), 

    'label':'Send', 

    },

 

Looks fine to me. Has anyone seen this button import exception before?

 

Thanks,

[Kevin A. <al...@se...>]

I think this particular issue was fixed with release 0.7.3.1 which was=20=

upgraded for py2exe 0.5 and removed support for older versions of=20
PyCrust which led to the warning messages. However, you'll probably=20

upgrading to 0.7.3.1 before trying to diagnose the problem further.
