[PythonReports-users] PythonReports and py2exe

[Werner F. B. <wer...@fr...>]

Hi,

I am at the stage where I like to test my distribution method with 
PythonReports.

I use py2exe and InnoSetup to generate an installer.

Updated my setup.py to ensure that PythonReports and reportlab get 
included by py2exe by adding them to "packages" option.

However the way images are handled in PythonReports I run into this error:

19:39:52: can't open file 'C:\Program Files\TheWineCellarBookV4\lib\library.zip\PythonReports\editor\res\pythonreports.ico' (error 3: le chemin d'accès spécifié est introuvable.)
19:39:52: No handler found for image type.


The French text means "access path is not found", however if I check the 
library.zip file it does contain the image, but I think 
"AddIconFromFile" can't deal with this path (and/or extracting from a 
zip archive).

To get the images into the library.zip I had to do a hack in the 
setup.py to manually update the library.zip.

The nicest way, in my view, would be to have the images in a resource 
file created by imp2py (wxPython tools).  That approach should then be 
fine regards less of py2exe options/configuration (and should also work 
for other freezing tools, cxfrezze etc).

I would be happy to do a patch for that change if this would be o.k. 
with you.

Best regards
Werner

PythonReports should be found without explicit include.  For my other 
project (no wx part, only reportlab-based builder and pdf output), I use

         "includes": [
             "PythonReports.PILDrivers",
             "PythonReports.RLDrivers",
         ],
         "excludes": [
             "tcl",
             "Tkinter",
             "_tkinter",
         ],

No, it can't.  The resources are to be packaged as data files, separate 
from library.zip.

I have planned to add a check for ".zip" in module path to 
editor.utils.get_resource_dir().  In your case, the path would be 
'C:\Program Files\TheWineCellarBookV4\lib\res\pythonreports.ico' - with 
directories up to and including library.zip removed by get_resource_dir().

I think that img2py will do, too.

Best wishes,

This pulls in Tkinter which is quite weighty and absolutely unneeded in 
your case: you cannot use wx and Tk simultaneously.

This is checked in.

No, it was lost when I rearranged subpackages.

Best wishes,
alex.

You are right, didn't show my exclude which I should for other users.

excludes = ['_gtkagg', '_tkagg', 'bsddb', 'curses', 'pywin.debugger',
             'pywin.debugger.dbgcon', 'pywin.dialogs', 'tcl',
             'Tkconstants', 'Tkinter', "_tkinter", 'pydoc', 'doctest', 
'test',
             'sqlite3'
dll_excludes = ['libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll', 'libgobject-2.0-0.dll', 
'tcl84.dll',
                 'tk84.dll', 'fbclient.dll', 'icudt30.dll', 
'icuin30.dll', 'icuuc30.dll',
                 'mswsock.dll', 'powrprof.dll',
                 'MSVCP90.dll']

Above is obviously adapted to the needs of my application and each user 
should adapt it to his/her needs.

Great, thanks for accepting this patch.
