[Pythoncard-users] PythonCard Error

[Daniel R. <dv...@gm...>]

All,

I'm a newbie in the PythonCard world, and I'm encountering an error when I
use py2exe to create a stand-alone executable.  My error log looks like
this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "GUI.py", line 555, in ?
  File "PythonCard\model.pyc", line 337, in __init__
  File "PythonCard\resource.pyc", line 48, in getResource
  File "PythonCard\resource.pyc", line 86, in __init__
  File "PythonCard\resource.pyc", line 91, in __init__
  File "PythonCard\resource.pyc", line 91, in __init__
  File "PythonCard\resource.pyc", line 96, in __init__
  File "PythonCard\resource.pyc", line 139, in enforceSpec
  File "PythonCard\resource.pyc", line 30, in loadComponentModule
ImportError: cannot import module 'staticline

Anybody encounter this before/know the way to fix it?

Thanks,
Dan

Yup - what you need to do is add a line into your code which explicitly 
imports the required PythonCard components. For your GUI.py program, you'll 
need to add something like:

from PythonCard.components import staticline, statictext, textarea, \
    button

Since these are the components you've got in your GUI.rsrc.py file. Just FYI, 
I'm using your code to help debug the latest version of standaloneBuilder,  
with some help from Alex Tweedly.

Phil,

Great- that worked.  Thanks!

Now, another issue- I have my .exe file, but it works only when in the /dis=
t
directory where I created it.  If I move it to the desktop, it doesn't
work.  Do I have to make sure I keep all the components in the /dist
directory with it?

Thanks,
Dan

Yes, you do. That's why that folder is called 'dist' by default, because you 
have to distribute the contents in order to make your standalone version run 
on another computer. How you actually go about doing that is another whole 
discussion, although my preference is to use Inno Setup, which is a freeware 
software installer that you can download from:

http://www.jrsoftware.org/isdl.php

This packages up your program and all its supporting files into a single .EXE 
file which can be distributed to your end users. When they run it, your 
application is installed and an entry is added under Control Panel --> Add & 
Remove Software to allow the app to be un-installed easily as well.
