Re: [Visualpython-users] Error using py2exe with Vpython

[Kadir H. <kha...@ya...>]

I think it has to do with the texture path definition in the materials.py module of the Visual Python.

Long time ago, I had tested py2exe and had the same problem. Then tested other exe builders. Same again. They look for a visual subdirectory under current distribution directory.

The last one I had tested was pyinstaller-1.3. Again with the same problem. I am using pyinstaller at the moment, but I believe same "solutions" apply for all. I have not tested with py2exe again.

In the materials.py file change the texturePath definition for the targa texture files to a static one. At the moment it is the dynamic path address resolution, which creates the problem. For simplicity I use "C:\" as the texture path. But now, the Visual will be looking for three targa files at C:\. So, you have to copy earth.tga, turbulence3.tga, and the wood.tga files to C:\ before you start creating the exe.

UP SIDE: Your old Visual Python application works normally as they used to (which normally you would expect of course).
DOWN SIDE: If you are going to distribute the exe file or the full new directory to other machines without the Visual, you need to copy these three files manually to C:\ at the target machines ALSO.

I could not find any better solution.

Subject: [Visualpython-users] Error using py2exe with Vpython

I get the following error when I try to run a visual program compiled
with py2exe

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "controls2.py", line 7, in <module>

  File "zipextimporter.pyo", line 82, in load_module
  File "visual\materials.pyo", line 151, in <module>
  File "visual\materials.pyo", line 129, in loadTGA
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: "C:\\Documents and
Settings\\D-man\\Desktop\\Research\\'09\\Forign
Study\\Python\\CopyforComp\\Done\\dist\\controls2.exe\\visual/turbulence3.tga"

Has anyone encountered this before? Anyone have a possible solution?

Thanks,
